Aryna Sabalenka goes speechless with her tremendous win

Aryna Sabalenka won her first US Open women’s singles title on Saturday, September 7, after a tough battle against Jessica Pegula. The 26-year-old Belarusian fought hard for nearly two hours before defeating Pegula 7-5, 7-5 at Arthur Ashe Stadium. This victory gave Sabalenka her third Grand Slam title, adding to her Australian Open crowns. After her win, she said, “Oh my god. I’m speechless right now. So many times, I thought I was so close to winning this. It was a dream of mine. Finally, I got this beautiful trophy—it means a lot.”

Sabalenka praised Pegula, acknowledging the American’s skill and effort throughout the match. Pegula had an impressive tournament run, including a win over World No.1 Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals. Sabalenka made it clear how much respect she had for her opponent, saying, “I know how tough it is to lose in the final, Jessica. You’re showing amazing tennis. I’m more than sure you’re going to get one. Not one, maybe more but let’s start with one.”

Last year, Sabalenka finished as the runner-up after losing to Coco Gauff, but she made sure this time to go all the way. The victory was the result of hard work and determination, and Sabalenka didn’t take it for granted. She acknowledged the challenges she faced in the tournament, saying, “It was a difficult couple of weeks.” Despite Pegula’s strong showing, Sabalenka’s persistence paid off as she finally captured her US Open title.
