In a thrilling US Open final, Belarus' Aryna Sabalenka emerged victorious against Amanda Anisimova, securing her fourth major title and solidifying her status as the queen of hard courts.

Sabalenka, who had previously lost in the finals of the Australian Open and French Open, made history with her victory on the hard courts of New York, marking her first Grand Slam title on this surface.

The final score was 3:6, 6:7 (3:7) in favour of Sabalenka. Anisimova, who moved up to number four in the world rankings as the losing finalist, fought valiantly, forcing a tiebreak in the second set. However, Sabalenka's consistency this season played a significant role in her victory.

Anisimova sobbed for minutes into her towel after the match, expressing that she did not fight enough for her dreams in the final. Sabalenka, on the other hand, was elated about her win, especially considering all the hard lessons she had learned along the way. She was consoled by Anisimova after the match.

Sabalenka's victory propelled her to the world number one spot, making her the first Belarusian to hold this position. Her massive $5 million prize was a fitting reward for her hard-fought victory.

This summer, Anisimova reached two Grand Slam finals, but unfortunately, she lost both. Sabalenka, on the other hand, has now added the US Open title to her impressive collection, which includes wins at the Australian Open and the French Open.

As the dust settles on the US Open, the tennis world eagerly awaits to see what the future holds for these two promising players.
