NEW YORK, USA: World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka has once again stamped her authority on women’s tennis by clinching her second consecutive US Open title, defeating American star Amanda Anisimova in straight sets 6-3, 7-6(3). With this victory, the Belarusian powerhouse not only defended her crown but also wrote her name in history as the first woman since Serena Williams (2012–2014) to secure back-to-back titles in New York.
The match showcased Sabalenka’s trademark power, precision and mental toughness. Anisimova, backed by the home crowd, gave a spirited fight in the second set, pushing it into a tiebreak. But Sabalenka’s calm nerves and consistent shot-making ensured she sealed the win with authority. She limited herself to just 15 unforced errors, compared to Anisimova’s 29, proving once again why she is regarded as the most dominant force on hard courts today.
This triumph also marks Sabalenka’s fourth Grand Slam title overall, further cementing her place among the greats of the modern era. Her victory not only keeps her firmly at the top of the world rankings but also strengthens her reputation as the “Queen of Queens,” a title fittingly earned at the very arena where champions rise.
With her remarkable run, the big question now is: who can challenge Sabalenka’s reign on hard courts?
