Aryna Sabalenka wins US Open final with gripping win over Jessica Pegula - live
Jack Draper shares about his struggles with anxiety following an incident of vomiting on the court during the US Open.
Aryna Sabalenka clinched her first ever US Open championship and third major overall by defeating hometown favorite Jessica Pegula, getting revenge for her loss in last year's final.
Sabalenka experienced a painful loss in New York last year when Coco Gauff came from behind to win the US Open final. However, this year, Sabalenka was able to quiet the home fans and defeat Pegula 7-5 7-5.
The tense moments came when Pegula, a first-time finalist in a grand slam, came back from being 3-0 down to take a 5-3 lead in the second set. Pegula was serving to force a third set, but Sabalenka was able to regain control and quiet the crowd once again.
The second-ranked player in the world from Belarus has now won the US Open title, adding to her consecutive victories at the Australian Open earlier this year.
This is a significant weekend for American players at the US Open, as both the women's and men's singles finals will feature homegrown talent for the first time in nearly two decades. Tomorrow, Taylor Fritz will go up against the current World No 1, Jannik Sinner, with the chance to win his first grand slam title on the line.

Come back tomorrow evening to watch Taylor Fritz try to become the first American male to win the US Open in 21 years, as he faces off against the current World No 1, Jannik Sinner.
Fritz beat his fellow countryman Frances Tiafoe in a five-set match to advance to the US Open final, making him the first man to do so since Andy Roddick in 2006. He is now just one win away from matching Roddick's win in 2003.
However, the sinner has emerged as a true challenge, as the Italian triumphed in his first major tournament victory at the Australian Open earlier this year. He has now achieved a 13-match winning streak on hard courts in the major tournaments.
