World No 1 reveals mental reset helped her keep US Open crown
The Star
|September 08, 2025
ARYNA Sabalenka credited her newfound mental approach on Saturday after producing a controlled performance to retain her US Open crown.
-
The 27-year-old world number one from Belarus defeated American eighth seed Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) to claim a fourth career Grand Slam title.
Sabalenka said her victory followed a rethink after defeats in the Australian and French Open finals earlier this season.
“After the Australian Open, I thought the right way would be just to forget it and move on, but then the same thing happened at the French Open,” she said.
“So, after the French Open I figured, ‘okay, maybe it’s time for me to sit back and look at those finals and maybe learn something, because I didn’t want it to happen again and again.”
