What changed
Elena Rybakina defeated two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka to win her first US Open title and third Grand Slam overall, according to BBC Sport.
Why it matters
The result ends Sabalenka’s two-year US Open reign and gives Rybakina a major title at the tournament for the first time. It also strengthens Rybakina’s position among the sport’s leading players.
What to watch next
Rybakina’s future Grand Slam appearances will show whether this becomes the foundation of a sustained run at the top or remains a major breakthrough against a defending champion.
