Aryna Sabalenka continues to demonstrate her incredible consistency on the circuit despite facing very challenging obstacles. The latest proof of this was her victory, comeback included, over Jessica Pegula in the semifinals of the US Open 2025. The Belarusian will try to defend her title in New York.

And she will arrive as the favorite to achieve it, although nothing is guaranteed. Aware of the high level of competition in the current women's circuit, Aryna attended a press conference to talk about her feelings, how she assessed her tennis against Pegula, and how she will approach the final battle for the trophy.

"I had many emotions in my head, I told myself: 'Oh my God! Close the match.' I was excited, and then there was another easy shot that... not that I missed, but I didn't make the right decision. Throughout the match, I kept telling myself: 'In the next one, go step by step, don't worry about the past. Try better in the next point'."

Eager to surpass herself

"I really wanted to give myself another chance, another final, and I want to prove to myself that I learned those tough lessons and that I can do better in the finals," Aryna confessed at the press conference regarding all the emotions she experienced during her semifinal match.

"What happened in Paris will not happen here, ever. I learned that lesson and I will never behave like that. That's not who I am, I was very sensitive. I let it go and let the emotions overpower me, and that's not me. It will never happen again."

About the final

"I have to trust myself, go for my shots. At Wimbledon, I doubted myself a lot, and that was the main reason for the unforced errors. If it's against Osaka, I love revenge, so I will be very motivated."
