Key events
Anisimova says:
I worked very hard, especially on my mental game and I do not give up. When I was in Wimbledon, every game was a surprise for me. I was shocked by every match I won. But here I think more, I believe in myself, and I am able to do it. I think I really changed with my attitude.
Sabalenka says:
I am super excited to give myself another opportunity, another final. If I can hold this trophy, it will mean a lot to me. I will just be the happiest person in the world probably.
I felt like in this match [against Anisimova] At Wimby, I doubted a lot of my decisions. It was the main thing that brought a lot of unl forced mistakes. I feel like I have my opportunities, I didn’t use them. The key for me will be fair to go there, of course, fight, but trust my decisions and go after my photos.
Road to the final. Not only did Anisimova beat Swiatek this tournament, but it also came back from a shoot to defeat another Grand Slam champion in Naomi Osaka in the semi-finals. Sabalenka’s path was easier, especially after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew before their quarter -final, but she also came from behind to see Jessica Pegula, who was revenge last year’s final.

His interview with Anisimova in May in May, In which she talks about the mental health break that she pulled tennis in 2023, is also worth a look, if you have not already read it:
In the meantime: I just eat an obscene quantity of sushi and I feel a little slow. Here is the excellent overview of Tumaini to move you forward while I recovered:
Amanda Anisimova was struggling to keep her composure in the days preceding the last Grand Chelem tournament of the year. While the American prepared for her first round match, her high expectations have become a significant source of stress. With hindsight, it was nothing out of the ordinary. “I think most players put a lot of pressure on themselves and the few days before the tournament are quite stressful, just anticipation,” she said after reaching the third round. “I think it was natural for me to feel this.”
However, the circumstances surrounding Anisimova on the eve of the United States Open made its unique situation. The last time she appeared in a large home, Anisimova was beaten 6-0, 6-0 in the Wimbledon final by Iga Swiatek. Wimbledon had represented a long -awaited breakthrough after years of unwarmed promises and, in most cases, this would have meant only a positive step in his career in his career, but at the end of his excruciating day in the central court, it was difficult not to wonder if such a humiliating moment could completely derail his progress.
For this reason, the treatment with anisimova of these challenges was nothing less than remarkable. During the next Grand Chelem tournament, her first possible opportunity, the 24 -year -old woman again gave herself another chance to participate in a title of Grand Colem while she faces Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s n ° 1 and the reigning champion, on a soil at home in the American open final on Saturday.
Anisimoa’s talent has never been in doubt. She is one of the cleanest and most destructive ball attackers of the tour, with a timing and an unrivaled technique which allows her to take the ball so early, to change the directions at will and to generate a huge rhythm of the two features on the ground, in particular her extraordinary extraordinary with two hands.
These skills were obvious in his last games, which were an exhibition in the event of a devastating offensive hunting lap. In her victory over Swiatek, she constantly stole the time of offensive weapons of the post. Despite her first nerves one day later against Naomi Osaka, it was remarkable to see how she spilled the match, dominating another of the biggest players in the game from the baseline. Even when they approached 1 a.m. after almost three hours on the field, her hands remained stable during the decisive moments at the end and she never stopped attacking.
You can read the rest here:
Just after the end of the match, along thunder, lightning and torrential rainJust to add to the tension before the women’s final. At least Arthur Ashe has a roof. So, this match will be more like a night match, even if it starts around 4 p.m. in New York.
Already today, Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski have failed in a distressful way in their attempt to become the first entirely British pair since 1903 to win the title of male double. They had three match points in the third set, before being ahead of 3-6, 7-6, 7-5 by Marcel Granollers of Spain and Horacio Zeballos in Argentina, which also won the French title of France this year. And look who celebrates:
Preamble
Tennis, bloody hell. 56 days ago, Amanda Anisimova was laundered with lime in the Wimbledon 6-0 final, 6-0 by Iga Swiatek while she was in the headlights of the biggest match in her life. It was the most public and the most painful of humiliations, most of us, if we are placed in the same position, would not recover, and even less to have the character to return to the tour less than three weeks later when she started her preparations for the US Open.
And now, the 24-year-old young woman is in the final of her big home at home, having won the sweetest to take revenge against Swiatek in the quarterfinals, and she will be fortified by the knowledge she can beat Aryna Sabalenka when he is important, having defeated Belarusian in three sets in their semi-final of Wimbledon. Get the best of Sabalenka again and the history of Anisimova’s redemption would rank among the biggest tennis, with Jana Novotna winning Wimbledon in 1998 after Heartbreak five years earlier, Jennifer Capriati going to hell before becoming a major champion in 2001 and Andre Agassi returning from the career desert so as not to have the career of the Slam in 1999. Born in New Jersey, would add a shine that even Broadway could not compose.
But Sabalenka is in the slightly curious position of having to prove itself too, despite the reigning champion, the world n ° 1 and the seeded. She has her own Grand Slam ghosts. After losing against Madison Keys in the Australian Open final, Coco Gauff in the French Open final and Anisimova in this semi Wimbledon, this match represents its last chance to finish a year of what is with an important triumph.
So the two want their own form of redemption – and Sabalenka probably also wants a little revenge. If I could, I would call the two like the champion of the United States Open – Sabalenka probably deserves a slam for his efforts this year, but who would deny Anisimova such a comforting return for the ages? – But alas, it is not possible. So let’s hope, for the two sakes, that this time, these huge strikers can show courage and composure as big as their shots.
The players will come to about: 4 p.m. New York time / 21 h BST.
