Sabalenka beats Pegula to claim her first Miami Open title

ARYNA SABALENKA made it third time lucky in big finals in 2025 to claim the Miami Open title for the first time.
Sabalenka lost out to Madison Keys in the Australian Open decider and teenager Mirra Andreeva at Indian Wells two weeks ago, but proved too strong for fourth seed Jessica Pegula in Florida.
In a repeat of the US Open final last year, Sabalenka edged a tense first set before powering through to a 7-5 6-2 victory.
