Rybakina triumphs in US Open, denies Sabalenka three-peat
Elena Rybakina secured her third US Open title on Saturday, outpacing Aryna Sabalenka in a hard-fought three-set victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Ukrainian world number one, who had already clinched the semi-final spot, ended Sabalenka's 20-match winning streak and three-peat ambitions. Rybakina, who had already claimed Wimbledon and the Australian Open titles, triumphed 6-4, 5-7, 6-2.
She acknowledged the significance of the win, saying "It feels amazing... super happy, very proud of all the work." Sabalenka, unable to break Rybakina's serve, expressed regret over her performance, stating "I wish I could have performed a little better."
