Us Open Female Final Sabalenka beats Anisimova 6-3 7-6

Aryna Sabalenka still queen of New York. The number one in the world wins for the second consecutive year US Open, fourth Slam in his career for her at the seventh final in a major. The Belarusiana beat in the final (6-3 7-6 (3) in an hour and 36 minutes) Amanda Anisimova, series head number eight, which loses another major on the finish, after Wimbledon. Sabalenka this year had been defeated in the Slam final in Melbourne and Paris, but on the cement she is the strongest of all, and has shown it. He did not play very well the n.1 of the world, as in the whole tournament, but it certainly did so in an intelligent way. For Anisimova another opportunity flew away, but it is always the same story: it plays very well, at times it is a fury, but too random, too randomness and little tactic, and this level, the maximum possible today, is not enough.

first set

Ready, away and are immediately three break balls for Anisimova, willing not to relive the nightmare of the Wimbledon final, when he lost 6-0 6-0 by the Swiatek. However, Sabalenka is good at putting things clear, canceling them and climbing 1-0. The number one in the world The next game level of the level and it is she who makes the first break in the game. At this point the risk that Amanda’s mind will return to what happened in London is there, but the American this time does not get blocked by the tension and reacts. Great. Anisimova hit two great response shifts, some truly wonderful, and puts three game in a row, going up 3-2. Sabalenka appears in confusion, while his opponent jumps and shoots missiles on one side and the other from the field. Aryna, however, is the number one in the world, the reigning champion and on the concrete wants to reiterate that the strongest is her. The Belarusian arises and, thanks to some too much mistakes of anisimova (as usual), it starts playing more peacefully, without overdoing it too much. All this is enough and advances to Sabalenka to win game games in a row and take home the first set in 39 minutes. It is not a memorable game, as often happens with the Slam finals, where the emotion and tension are the master in the mind of those who play them.

second set

At the beginning of the second set, Anisimova holds an infinite service shift, without ever granting break balls, but it is clear that it is in trouble. Sabalenka continues to go to cruise speed, but this often sends out the opponent, who continues to make mistakes. The Belarusian Brekka in the fourth game and salt 3-1. Anisimova reacts and torn the service to the number one in the world, which but counterbrekka immediately. On 5-3 for Sabalenka the American is used to stay in the match, he keeps the joke and in the next round Aryna goes below 0-30, recovers until 30-30 but then shoots a smash not very comfortable on the net on a great recovery of the opponent. Break Point and Amanda pulls out three terrifying shots one behind the other and surprise, when everything seemed finished, the meeting reopened, 5-5 and Arthur Ashe in celebration. We arrive at the tie break, and here Sabalenka dominates, by asserting his strength and experience. Aryna remains Queen, making a company, that of winning the US Open for two years in a row, which had not been able from the time of Serena Williams (2012-2014). We hope that on Sunday Jannik also does the same ends in tears: those of Sabalenka di Gioia, those of the anisimova of disappointment. Tennis, beauty.
