Aryna Sabalenka has reaffirmed her hierarchy on the New York courts by qualifying once again for the US Open final. The Belarusian sealed her spot by overcoming American Jessica Pegula in straight sets, with a final score of 7-5 and 6-2, demonstrating once again her ability to prevail in the decisive moments of the tournament.<\/p>\n\n
The match, which lasted just one hour and 20 minutes, allowed Sabalenka to maintain her favorable record against Pegula in this Grand Slam. With this result, the tennis player prepares to fight for what would be her third consecutive title on American soil, consolidating herself as one of the most dominant figures on hard courts.<\/p>\n\n
The first set was characterized by an intense tactical struggle, where both players maintained solidity in their serves. However, Sabalenka managed to tip the scales in her favor at the right moment, breaking her opponent’s serve when the score was 6-5. From that break on, the Belarusian gained a mental boost that was reflected in the second set.<\/p>\n\n
In the second set, Sabalenka’s superiority was evident from the very first games. With total control of the rallies, she managed an early break to go up 3-1 and sealed the match with a second break, thus securing her ticket to the grand final.<\/p>\n\n
I am super happy to have been able to play like this. I was desperate to reach the final of the New York tournament again.<\/p>Aryna Sabalenka<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Heading to glory in New York<\/h2>\n\n
This triumph comes at a particular moment for Sabalenka, who recently ceded the top spot in the world rankings. Despite this change in the standings, the player has shown that her focus remains intact, channeling her energy into the pursuit of her fifth personal Grand Slam.<\/p>\n\n
The match statistics underscore the level shown by the Belarusian, who hit 29 winners and showed high effectiveness when returning Pegula’s second serve, winning 74% of those points. Now, the wait to know her opponent continues, as the title decider will depend on the matchup between Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff.<\/p>\n\n
Next Saturday, Sabalenka will look to cap off her participation in New York on a high note, attempting to add a new trophy to her cabinet and reaffirm why she is considered one of the great benchmarks of current women’s tennis.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
