Aryna Sabalenka finally breathed a sigh of relief in 2025. After losing two Grand Slam finals in a very close manner, the Belarusian needed to defend the title of the US Open to avoid ending the Grand Slam season empty-handed. It would have been a heavy burden for the world number one after being the most consistent player so far this year. 

The tigress from Minsk now has four Grand Slams, all on hard courts (two Australian Opens and two US Opens), and her reign in the WTA ranking has never been in jeopardy. That's why many fans and experts consider her one of the best tennis players of the last decades, especially at just 27 years old. However, she prefers to focus on the present before thinking about what she can achieve, as she stated in an interview with WTA, discussing her outstanding performance in New York.

How far can she go?

"I think we all have very high expectations, but I'm trying to focus on myself and my development as a player. I always try to give my best and see how far I can go in this sport. When I hear this number (four Grand Slams), it seems crazy to me. It's crazy to realize that I've done it four times. But I hope to do it many more times."

She will fight to continue adding to her title collection

"I don't know, I don't want to think about that. I don't want to set limits. I just want to focus on becoming a better player and see how far I can go. I hope to win many more, but who knows? I'm pretty sure I will give my all and do everything possible to relive these emotions many more times."

She found relief winning the US Open

"After what happened in the early part of the season in the Grand Slam finals, it was very emotional. I learned some tough lessons. Winning this title means a lot to me. I'm very proud of being able to control my emotions so well. I didn't let them dominate me. I just fought and played fantastic tennis on the court. In the end, I'm proud to have defended my title."

Another American in the eyes of the Arthur Ashe crowd

"I am very grateful. And I have felt this way over the years. I remember the first time I came here, when I reached the final for the first time. The crowd definitely wasn't on my side. I feel that I have really created a good connection with the people. They see me more through social media and know me better. Each year I come, I receive more and more support, so I'm very excited about the upcoming years and hope it will be even more than today," concludes Aryna Sabalenka, who doesn't want to hear about legacies and legends but only focuses on roaring and fighting on the tennis court.
