1st set, 1: 0 – Phew, a shaky start of the favorite, almost there would have been the first break – because Sabalenka’s first serve is not at all. It starts powerfully. A forehand cross to 15: 0, then a service winner. But then the American counters with a backhand longline and a cross. Then Sabalenka affords a double mistake – and Anisimova has breakball. Sabalenka fends it off, it goes over a tie. Then Anisimova is too long with a forehand cross.

Before the match – Anisimova, born in New York’s greater area, wants to make her endgame debacle from Wimbledon when she lost 0: 6, 0: 6 against Iga świątek to finally forget with a surprise coup on local terrain. “It means the world to me. A dream comes true,” said Anisimova a few minutes before 1:00 a.m. “I am now in the final and try to prepare myself for it. I’m just excited – it’s something very special.”
Before the match – For Sabalenka, it would not only be the fourth Grand Slam title of her career, a success would also compensate for severe blows of the past few months: After two final defeats at the Australian Open and the French Open and the semi-finals in Wimbledon-against Anisimova-Sabalenka would like to crown her season with a Grand Slam Trophy. “I’m just super happy to be back in the final,” she said after her semi-finals about the American Jessica Pegula. For good reason.
