Aryna Sabalenka has won the tie-breaker as well as the match. She has successfully defended her US Open women's singles title with a straight sets victory of 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) over Amanda Anisimova in the summit clash here.

Anisimova has made double fault and that puts Aryna Sabalenka right on top with a 4-1 lead in the ongoing tie-breaker. Sabalenka gets in further command with another crucial point. She is 5-1 up and needs only two more to clinch the title.

A quality forehand from Aryna Sabalenka and she then forces Amanda Anisimova to make one error and take the game. It is 6 all after 12 games in the second set. This means that the winner of this set will be decided via tie-break. Anisimova, who is one set down, needs to win it to keep this contest going.

Amanda Anisimova is back in the contest with added energy. She has held her serve and now the pressure is on Aryna Sabalenka. She too needs to hol serve or will lose this set. While Sabalenka paved the way for it with her error, this has been a sensational fightback from Anisimova.

2nd Set: Sabalenka 5-6 Anisimova

Oh, Sabalenka! What have you done there! She made Anisimova run crosscourt and then had an easy job to play a forehard and earn point but she instead hit the net. To add insult to injury, Anisimova cashed in on it and broke Sabalenka to level scores at 5-5.

2nd Set: Sabalenka 5-5 Anisimova

Amanda Anisimova has held her serve but this is not enough. To keep herself alive in this contest, she needs to break Aryna Sabalenka or the Belarusian will successfully defend the US Open women's singles title.

2nd Set: Sabalenka 3-3 Anisimova

Amanda Anisimova continues to fight. She held her serve and has now gained the first points on the serve of Aryna Sabalenka. As I write, Sabalenka hits one out of the baseline and Anisimova is now 30-0 up in the sixth game. Are we going to witness a turnaround?

2nd Set: Sabalenka 2-1 Anisimova

That is superb piece of game from Aryna Sabalenka. She was made to run cross court by Amanda Anisimova, yet managed to beat her opponent for the point eventually. Sabalenka effected a forehand and then two backhands from the baseline, before running in and slicing it over the net to win the point.

Aryna Sabalenka has held her serve quite easily. Amanda Anisimova had no answers to her fast serves. It is 1 all at the moment in the second set.

Aryna Sabalenka holds serve and thus takes the first set 6-3. She broke her American opponent Amanda Anisimova thrice to clinch the set. The latter fought really hard but failed to stop the defending champion. 

Aryna Sabalenka first held her serve and then broke Amanda Anisimova to inch closer to taking the first set. She just needs to hold her serve now.

This has been a roller-coaster ride so far. Just when is seemed that Aryna Sabalenka might lose the first set, the defending champions has bounced back in style to make it 3 all. 

Anisimova held her serve to make it 2 all and then surprised Sabalenka by breaking her. The American tennis star is now leading 3-2 in this first set with her serving coming next. What a turnaround this has been from her!

The American tennis star is back in the contest! She has broken Aryna Sabalenka to narrow down the lead. It's Anisimova's serve coming next. If she manages to hold it, the scores will be levelled.

That goes out of the baseline and that is the game for Sabalenka. First she fought hard to hold her serve and now she has broken her opponent Amanda Anisimova. The Belarusian star could not have asked for a better start here. 

It has been a tough start for Aryna Sabalenka. She had to fight hard to hold her serve as Amanda Anisimova came really close to breaking her. She fought well till the deuce but Sabalenka managed to clinch the game.

The action has kicked off in New York. Aryna Sabalenka started well with her serve before Amanda Anisimova bounced back in the first game. After a deuce, Anisimova has taken advantage. Can she break Sabalenka?

Both the players have made their way onto the court. It's time for the toss now. Aryna Sabalenka calls it head and head it is. She has decided to serve first.

When she was a teen, Anisimova won the 2017 junior title at the U.S. Open. Two years later, at age 17, she was a semifinalist at the French Open as a pro. In 2023, she announced she was taking a break from the tour because of burnout. After the time off, Anisimova essentially had to start over; her ranking was all the way outside the top 350 when she returned to competition. Even a year ago, she still was around No. 50. But her breakthrough run at Wimbledon lifted her into the top 10 and she is seeded No. 8 this week.

Anisimova is a 24-year-old who was born in New Jersey and grew up in Florida. After upsetting Sabalenka at the All England Club less than two months ago, Anisimova went on to lose her first Slam final to Iga Swiatek by a 6-0, 6-0 score. That result could have held Anisimova back for quite some time. But she put it aside so effectively that she even felt OK watching that match the day before she had to play six-time major champ Swiatek again in the US Open quarterfinals. Anisimova won that one in straight sets, then defeated four-time Slam winner Naomi Osaka in the semifinals to get to her second consecutive major final — and second of her career.

Sabalenka also beat an American, Jessica Pegula, in last year's final in New York and will be trying to become the first woman since Serena Williams in 2012-14 to won consecutive trophies at the U.S. Open. At Wimbledon in July, Sabalenka exited in the semifinals against — guess who? — Anisimova. That is part of Anisimova's 6-3 head-to-head advantage over their careers.

Aryna Sabalenka will be seeking her fourth Grand Slam title overall and second straight at the US Open. The No. 1-seeded player from Belarus will be playing in her third major title match of 2025 — each against an American opponent. She lost to Madison Keys at the Australian Open in January and to Coco Gauff at the French Open in June.
