Sabalenka Wins Cincinnati Open

Aryna Sabalenka triumphed over Jessica Pegula to win the Cincinnati Open, marking her first title since the Australian Open in January. Sabalenka's powerful performance included 10 aces and only nine points lost on serve, leading to a 6-3, 7-5 victory. Pegula, who had recently won the Canadian Open, struggled with her serve, hitting five double faults. Sabalenka, now ranked No. 2, is seen as a favorite for the upcoming US Open. The win is a significant achievement for Sabalenka, who missed Wimbledon due to a shoulder injury. Pegula humorously compared Sabalenka to Serena Williams during the post-match interview, bringing some light-heartedness to the event.
