The Belarusa was facing the opportunity to take off the bitter taste of her season in Majorsone where he always stayed on the edge of glory at the hands of Madison Keys in Australia and Coco Gauff in Paris. AND He had in his favor the poise of the experience, and it seems that his energy fits perfect with the intensity of New York. It is his third consecutive final in the city that never sleeps and will have all night to celebrate the fourth Grand Slam of his career.

In the previous one, Anisimova He had to excite himself because he led the history 6-3. The ranking leader won her on her end in Roland Garros, but the American stayed with the semifinals in Wimbledon, to access her first final in a Major tournament (she was defeat before Iga Swatek).

From the first game, Anisimova He sent a clear message to his rival: playing with second serve is tempting the Winner. Finally, Sabalenka He argued, but there would be no need for new chances to break him. The same aggressiveness he had suffered Naomi Osaka In the semifinal.

Early, No. 1 was 2-0 with the ghost of Wimbledon flying over Arthur Ashe. But that is where the power of Anisimovacreating its break chance and turning it with two unattainable winning shots. The place left the past behind and entered the game. From there, he won his third consecutive game to move from 0-2 to lead the score 3-2.

The first set was an exchange of constant breaks, but the decisive Sabalenka in 4-3. With the serve in his favor and the score in 5-3, they served the partial on a tray and took advantage of it.

The second set, the No. 1 of the world achieved an early break in 1-1, after two points where he went from defense to attack masterfully. While his advantage would last little, after a parallel reverse winner Anisimova which would put the 3-3, the American granted her service again.

Set up and serving for championship, he had the game in his racket. But the determination was greater on the other side of the network. There in 30-30, something incredible happened. With all the free court, Sabalenka He missed a smash that made the stadium fall. He had revived local hope.

The euphoria in the stands would spoke quickly, because in the Trebreak the defending champion enforced all her hierarchy and her incredible record in these instances: currently, she won 19 consecutive Tiebreaks.

Beyond the defeat, whatever the result the final day, its performance in this tournament was going to be historical for Anisimova. First, to get its best result in its local Grand Slam. But also, because I knew how to beat IgA Swiatek (2nd) and reverse the story he starred in Wimbledon.
