Sabalenka has a near-perfect record against American players at the US Open

Aryna Sabalenka won her second consecutive US Open title last night. After a flawless run, the world number one dominated Amanda Anisimova (6-3, 7-6) in the final on Arthur Ashe Court, confirming her status as the best hard-court player in Grand Slam tournaments.

Since the start of the 2023 season, Sabalenka has indeed reached every final at the Australian Open and the US Open. In general, Sabalenka manages to handle the pressure in the United States, especially when facing American players.

As reported by the X (formerly Twitter) account Jeu, Set et Maths, Sabalenka has near-perfect statistics in New York against players representing the USA. In fact, she has now won 9 of the 10 matches she has played against American players in the season's final Grand Slam tournament.

Sabalenka has indeed dominated Danielle Collins (three times, in 2018, 2021, and 2022), Catherine Harrison (2022), Madison Keys (2023), Emma Navarro (2024), Jessica Pegula (2024 and 2025), and Amanda Anisimova (2025).

Her only loss came in the 2023 final against Coco Gauff (2-6, 6-3, 6-2). It is worth noting that Sabalenka has played in the last three US Open finals, all against American players, with two wins and one loss.
