US Open live: Aryna Sabalenka v Amanda Anisimova latest score and updates from women’s final

Sabalenka gets her hands back on the US Open trophy! She won 24 matches at the grand slams this season, an incredible record.

With four grand slam titles, she is level with Naomi Osaka, two behind Iga Swiatek, for the most among active players.

“This is crazy, you know. I’m speechless right now. First of all, congrats to Amanda, finals of two slams. Trust me, the moment is going to come, you play incredible tennis. You will enjoy it more after tough losses in finals.

“I love it. I love it here. I feel you guys over the years we build a relationship and you give me so much support.”

Sabalenka adds: “It’s been tough this year. But come on, it was worth it right?”

A tough night for Amanda Anisimova, who has lost Wimbledon and US Open finals but has so much to be positive about after a brilliant couple of months. She has so much to build on.

“It’s been a great summer,” the American says. “Two finals in a row is great but it’s also super hard. I didn’t fight hard enough for my dreams today. Congrats to Aryna – you are so incredible. Congratulations to you and your team, you are amazing.”

The trophy will be presented by 18-time grand slam champion Chris Evert.

Aryna Sabalenka becomes…

A four-time grand slam singles champion (all on hard court) The first woman to win consecutive US Open singles titles since Serena Williams (from 2012-2014) The second woman in the Open Era to claim her 100th Grand Slam match-win in a Grand Slam final – Iga Swiatek achieved the same feat at Wimbledon this year

Joy and relief for Sabalenka as she won match point. After Anisimova forced the tiebreak, it felt like the match could have turned. But that was an emphatic response.

The 27-year-old is the first player to defend the US Open since Serena Williams in 2014.

She also defended the Australian Open title in 2024, and now has four grand slam titles.

It feels right that she should finish 2025 with a title, after reaching the finals of the Australian Open and the French Open and the semi-finals of Wimbledon.

What a performance from the World No 1, and an impressive way to close it out after Anisimova broke back when she was serving it out.

That was a one-sided tiebreak, and Anisimova did not bring her best level. But it’s been a brilliant run from the American, who looks disconsolate after losing a second grand slam final in a row.

Sabalenka is hugging her coaches and jumping around with her team. Emotional scenes and after losing two grand slam titles this year, she finishes the season on top.

GAME, SET AND MATCH! Aryna Sabalenka 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) Amanda Anisimova
