After coming close on numerous occasions and failing, Sabalenka finally clinched the US Open this year. She defeated home favorite Jessica Pegula 7-5, 7-5 in a hard-fought battle to achieve the feat. Interestingly, she was in a similar situation last year when she faced another home favorite Coco Gauff in the summit clash. However, the American youngster came back from a set down to win it all.
In a conversation with the news outlet Championat, Aryna Sabalenka‘s coach Anton Dubrov said how in the early stages of her career, the Belarusian would go into ‘wild stress’ in moments of huge magnitude, such as playing the final of the US Open at the Arthur Ashe against a home favorite, and end up losing control of herself.
