US Open: Sabalenka Defends Crown With Win Over Anisimova
PIF WTA Rankings: Aryna Sabalenka solidified her status as the world’s top player on Saturday, defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-6(3) to claim her second consecutive US Open title. With the win, Sabalenka becomes the first woman to defend her singles crown at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams in 2014.
The top seed and defending champion delivered a powerful and composed performance against the eighth-seeded American, earning her first Grand Slam title of the 2025 season and the fourth major trophy of her career. It also marked her 100th career Grand Slam main-draw victory and 56th win of the season — the most on tour this year.
Sabalenka had reached the finals at both the Australian Open and Roland Garros earlier this year but fell short on both occasions. On Saturday, she broke through with a determined and emotionally charged display, overcoming a spirited challenge from Anisimova, who was appearing in her second straight Grand Slam final.
