Aryna Sabalenka stood victorious once again at the US Open, clutching her second consecutive title in New York. Overcome with emotion, she shared a message that reflected the depth of her journey through the season. “I’m speechless right now,” she wrote. “All of the tough lessons I’ve learned this past season… this win makes it all worth it. It’s beyond my wildest dream to be holding this trophy again.”
Respect for a Worthy Opponent
Sabalenka didn’t miss the chance to acknowledge Amanda Anisimova, who had fought her way to the final with grit and determination. “You are incredible and played your heart out this tournament,” Sabalenka said, praising Anisimova’s resilience and talent. Their match was not only a battle of skill but also a moment of mutual respect between two rising stars of the sport.
Gratitude to the Fans
In her message, Sabalenka turned to the fans who have supported her through every high and low. “I hear you and see you,” she wrote. “Having you behind me cheering me on… is what pushes me to do my best every time I step on the court.” Her connection with the crowd in New York has grown stronger with each appearance, and she made sure to let them know how much their energy means to her.
A Tribute to Her Team
Sabalenka also gave credit to the people behind the scenes—her coaching staff, trainers, and support crew. “I wouldn’t be here without you,” she said, adding with a playful twist, “but don’t forget you wouldn’t be here without me.” She called them her backbone, recognizing the sacrifices and dedication they’ve shown throughout the year. “This trophy is also yours,” she concluded.
A Love Letter to New York
Closing her message, Sabalenka expressed her affection for the city that has now witnessed her triumph twice. “And New York, I love you,” she wrote, sealing her bond with the place that has become a defining part of her career. Her victory and her words together painted a picture of a champion not only in skill, but in spirit.
