Aryna Sabalenka, the WTA world No. 1, defended her U.S. Open title Saturday with a win over the American and world No. 9 Amanda Anisimova in two sets—6–3, 7–6(3).
Anisimova battled and forced Sabalenka to a tiebreak in the second set. However, the top-ranked player has been unbeatable in tiebreakers as of recent, winning her last 19 in a row, the longest streak by any woman in the Open Era per The Tennis Letter.
