Aryna Sabalenka defeated Amanda Anisimova to win the 2025 U.S. Open on Saturday night.

The No. 1 tennis player in the world won the match 6-3, 7-6 (3) at Flushing Meadows in the Queens borough of New York City. She stayed poised throughout the match and wasn’t going to let Anisimova pull off an upset like she did at the All-England Club a few months ago.

Even when Anisimova started to heat up, Sabalenka locked in and let her upstart American opponent make the mistakes. She capitalized with some ingenious shots throughout the match.

Anisimova was down early in the first set but was able to get her feet under her and make some incredible shots to tie the first set at two apiece. But unforced errors would come back to haunt her.

The New Jersey native watched the set slip away from her. Sabalenka dug in and was able to take the first set from her.

Anisimova won the first game in the second set after going back and forth with Sabalenka. The Belarusian would again lock in. She countered an Anisimova slice with a terrific drop shot and battled back to win the third game of the second set. Anisimova was able to get the set back to three games even with powerful shots that Sabalenka couldn’t reach.
