Sabalenka keeps her crown

Aryna Sabalenka pulled from experience to confirm herself as the favorite and conquer the grand final of the US Open 2025. The world number one managed to prevail against Amanda Anisimova with a score of 6-3 and 7-6(3) in 1 hour and 36 minutes of battle at a packed Arthur Ashe.

Although Sabalenka struck first, Amanda had already displayed a menacing showcase of her impressive winners. Responding masterfully to Aryna's missiles, the American player, strongly supported by the stadium, managed to push her opponent back with deep shots, causing frustration in the world number one.

With 11 winners in just five games, the American made her intentions very clear, executing a game plan perfectly to outplay Sabalenka. Anisimova's inconsistency suddenly surfaced, leaving her downhill and unable to counteract those mistakes with good shots.

Sabalenka takes the set with only three winners

A solid version of Aryna from the serve was enough to claim the first set, a set that heavily relied on the racket of an Anisimova who showed both her best and worst. The world number one was flawless in her break opportunities, capitalizing on the three she had in her favor.

The American then began to complain about discomfort when serving the ball, a problem that did not help with double faults. Although she seemed to recover at times, Aryna drew upon her experience to stay consistent from her side of the court. With nerves of steel, Anisimova faced her opponent's tough serves, matching winner after winner to even the score and stay alive in the match.

Although it was not an easy task either, the world number one seized her opportunities, and on the third attempt, Aryna emerged victorious.
