Sabalenka, Anisimova Set For US Open Final Clash

Amanda Anisimova and Aryna Sabalenka are set to contest the US Open final, following a series of intense recent encounters between the two. Anisimova, who defeated Naomi Osaka in a hard-fought semifinal, has shown significant mental resilience and improvement since her 6-0, 6-0 loss to Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final just eight weeks earlier. Sabalenka has faced repeated setbacks at Grand Slams this year, having been thwarted by American players including Anisimova, Madison Keys, and Coco Gauff in previous majors. The rivalry has included some controversy, with Sabalenka criticizing Anisimova for early celebrations during their tight Wimbledon semi-final match. Anisimova’s aggressive style and recent successes at the US Open highlight her potential to claim her first Grand Slam title, while Sabalenka aims to convert her strong season form into a major victory. Their upcoming final promises to be a high-stakes, thrilling battle between two in-form players.
