Sabalenka one set away from US Open title!

Aryna Sabalenka gave herself a scare, but it was she who took control of the US Open final (7-5).

A very aggressive player, the world number 2 was willing to make the winning shots (25) and the unforced errors (23).

In a delightful clash of styles, the Belarusian's power finally prevailed over the American's resilience, at least in the first act.

With her back against the wall, Pegula now has no choice but to do even better if she is to claim the title.
