Sabalenka achieves redemption with US Open win
Aryna Sabalenka, of Belarus, kisses the championship trophy after defeating Jessica Pegula, of the United States, in the women's singles final of the U.S. Open tennis championships, September 7, 2024, in New York

ARYNA SABALENKA was proud to be able to make her fairy-tale of New York come true as she earned US Open redemption by winning the women’s title at the weekend.

The Belarusian suffered one of her darkest days when she lost last year’s final to Coco Gauff.

She threatened a repeat of that wobble in a nervy encounter, but this was her time, beating Jessica Pegula 7-5 7-5.
