After narrowly missing a U.S. Open title last year, Aryna Sabalenka returns to New York fully fit and confident. The reigning Australian Open champion took a mid-year break to focus on her health, which has rejuvenated her both physically and mentally. She is determined to triumph at this year’s final Grand Slam.
The break allowed Sabalenka to properly rehabilitate her injuries, leaving her feeling fresh mentally. She enters the U.S. Open after a dominant performance in Cincinnati where she didn’t lose a set, including a semi-final clash with world number one Iga Swiatek.
Confident and physically dominating, Sabalenka heads to the U.S. Open—her favourite Grand Slam—aiming to build upon her past successful performances. Last year, she dropped only one set en route to the final, showcasing a powerful serve, aggressive baseline play, and explosive groundstrokes.
