Elena Rybakina dethrones Aryna Sabalenka to win 1st U.S. Open title, punctuate her rise to No. 1
Elena Rybakina won her first U.S. Open title and punctuated her climb to the top of women's tennis by beating Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 on Saturday in New York.
Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski claimed the US Open men's doubles title on Saturday, defeating Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in straight sets. The American and British duo, who previously won the Australian Open crown together, defeated the German pair 6-4, 7-6 (8/6). This win makes them one of just three teams in the last century to secure both the Australian and US Open titles in the same year, alongside Bob and Mike Bryan and Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares.
Skupski's teammate, Jamie Murray, presented the trophy to the winners, marking the 10th anniversary of their own historic triumph. Both Harrison and Skupski expressed disbelief at their achievement, with Harrison calling it "speechless" and Skupski admitting it was a "tough part of my career" to overcome match points the previous year.
The pair demonstrated their dominance by winning the title without dropping a set, following in the footsteps of John McEnroe and Peter Fleming in 1983, and the Bryan brothers in 2008 and 2010.
