Sabalenka’s victory marks a historic milestone: she is now the first woman to defend her US Open crown since Serena Williams in 2014. Remarkable poise and resilience were displayed by the world No. 1, as a late surge from Anisimova was resisted before closing out the match in the tense second-set tiebreak.

Sabalenka had suffered earlier defeats in the Australian Open and French Open finals earlier in 2025, which is why this year’s win is especially meaningful for her career and growth. Nonetheless, her triumph in New York underscores her growing legacy and mastery on the biggest stages.
