NEW YORK (AP) — Aryna Sabalenka got past Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 in a rollicking U.S. Open women’s final Saturday to win her first championship at Flushing Meadows and third Grand Slam title of her career.
NEW YORK — Aryna Sabalenka got past Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 in a rollicking U.S. Open women’s final Saturday to win her first championship at Flushing Meadows and third Grand Slam title of her career.
The No. 2-seeded Sabalenka appeared in full control when she reeled off five consecutive games to grab the opening set and move ahead 3-0 in the second, before the No. 6 Pegula made things more interesting. In the next game, Pegula dropped a point and showed her frustration by whacking a ball off the video wall behind the baseline, dislodging a little square panel.
Sabalenka is as demonstrative as anyone in the sport, her body language usually a spot-on barometer of whether things are going well — or not — for her. Once Sabalenka got going, once her booming strokes — her forehands are the fastest these past two weeks, speedier than any woman’s or man’s — were calibrated just so, it quickly became apparent the outcome would be determined by what she did.
