Aryna Sabalenka He looked where the last setback of Amanda Anisimovaand when he sung outside, he took his hands in his face, stood on his knees and cried. The final of the US Open 6-3 and 7-6 (7/3). It is not his first Grand Slam, it is the fourth, but it is a special in a year in which the Belarusian has had some bitterness.
It has been the year, 2025, in which Sabalenka has been number one in the world at all times. He came to the top for the first time on September 11, 2023, despite falling into that same stage against Coco Gauff, also in the final. “Only” was with the crown until November 5 of that same campaign. He recovered first place on October 21, 2024in a season in which he conquered the Open of Australia (for the second time, because he had also won it in 2023) and the US Open. No one has come down from there, but I had not achieved a Grand Slam being the queen. In Melbourne, last January, he lost the final against Madison Keys. In Roland Garros, in June, he also arrived at the last game, which was traced by Coco Gauff. In Wimbledon his limit were the semifinals, and who closed his step was precisely anisimova.
A final with nine breaks
Sabalenka, therefore, “avenged” the American and triumphed being the best finally, in a chaotic match in which He knew how to maintain more control than his rival and also had more resources with the racket. The ups and downs were constant: the Belarusian began with a 2-0, and turned his opponent to get 2-3 and serve … but lost the service just below. There were up to nine breaks in the match, five in favor of Aryna and four for Amanda, a tennis player who has devastating blows. He hits very hard, flat, and the ball runs a barbarity, but it takes too much risk and the errors can be shot. In this final, he committed 29, for 22 winning blows.
Anisimova gave one more opportunity when in the second set a game played the extraordinary rest when it was against the strings: 5-4 and Sabalenka serve. He broke and forced the Tie-Break, but there he broke down again. He loses his second final followed by a Grand Slam. In Wimbledon it was very bitter, because Swiatek won 6-0 and 6-0. It was paralyzed. This time he competed, but it wasn’t enough. He also ended up crying, it was a disgust, but is on the right track with these two performances in the best scenarios, and the title in Doha’s WTA 1,000. It is the new number four in the world.
Sabalenka conquers his “big” room, all on a hard track. His experience helped her has survived in chaos. He is also a titanic tennis player, but he knew how to have more stability, with 14 undined errors and 12 winning shots, and cleaning in the tiebreaker, at the peak, the doubts he had had with the serve.
