Sabalenka feels her time has arrived at US Open after reaching final again

ARYNA SABALENKA believes her time has arrived at the US Open as she closes in on a long-awaited first title tomorrow.
Sabalenka is back in the final 12 months after one of her darkest days when she let a first-set lead slip to lose the showpiece event to Coco Gauff.
She faces another American in the shape of Jessica Pegula tomorrow, who she beat in the final of a warm-up event in Cincinnati, and is ready to banish bad memories.
