the 2024 U s open women singles final saw number 2 ceded Belarusian Alina Sabolanca defeat number 6 ceded American Jessica Pagula 7 to 5 7 to 5 to lift the trophy this is Sabolinka's first US open women's singles title and her third Grand Slam women singles title in the same year she has won the Australian Open and the US Open women's singles title and has won three hard court Grand Slam women singles titles in two years making her the queen of hard court among active players the result of Sabolenka's win in two sets should be within the expectation of most fans however the process of this match is still relatively UPS and downs which can be seen from the set points of the two sets in the first set Sablanka quickly took a 5 to 2 lead and it seemed like she was going to easily crush her opponent again a scenario that has occurred several times at this US Open but Pagula who was making her first career Grand Slam final and playing on home soil clearly didn't want to give up easily she won three games in a row to tie the score at 5 to 5 and put the two sides back on the same page next Sabolenka held and then broke to win the first set 7 to 5 at the start of the second set Sablanca won three more games to equalize a 5 to 0 run from the end of the first set and the beginning of the second but a resilient Pagula fought back again returning a 5 to 0 run to bring the score to 5 to 3 at this point many fans must have been reminded of the previous semifinal where Pagula lost the first set and was down 0 to 2 in the second set but then turned around to win the set Pagula won the match after losing five games in a row Sabalenka was in a bit of a mess but her out of control behavior didn't last until the 9th game of the second set after getting back on track sabolanca completed two waves of serve and brakes and locked the second set at 7 to 5 the match ended with sabolanca as the winner and pagula as the runner up in this final the scores were close in both sets but it was not played in the traditional sense of a seesaw battle while close matches are often characterized by you win a set I win a set this match was you win a few sets I win a few more the two of them played a wide open game with several reversals in the wind and the wind which was very enjoyable to watch Sabalenka should take the main responsibility for the reason why they played like this she is the stronger side her style of play is also very oppressive when she plays well the opponent is often difficult to fight but if she has problems with her hands there will be a continuous giveaway looking back on Sabolenka's championship run it also reflects the same wide open character she either suppressed her opponent for the whole match or exchanged absolute advantages back and forth with her opponent and rarely appeared to be difficult to distinguish the whole situation it should not be too much to say that she crushed her way to the title queen of the hardcourt in today's women's tennis world the world's top ranked is Spartak Sabolanka ranked second but in the US Open this field Sabolanka is the first favorite to win the title she can win the title can be said to be deserved Spartak has won the French Open four times in five years and has played consistently in the rest of the tournaments so there is no question that she has earned the world No. 1 position by her own strength but if we look only at the results of the hardcourt Grand Slams Sabalenka is undoubtedly stronger from 2021 to 2024 Sabalenka's US Open results were quarterfinals quarterfinals runner up and champion in 2023 and 2024 Sabalenka won two consecutive Australian Open titles with three titles and a runner up finish in the last four hardcourt Slams Sabolanca is the queen of hardcourt even if we expand the scope to the four Grand Slams Sabolanca's overall performance is still outstanding she reached the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam women singles 9 times and from the 2022 U S open to the 2024 Australian Open she was among the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam women singles 6 times in a row and this year's French Open stopped in the round of 8 is considered to be a decline in performance then she withdrew from Wimbledon due to injury and missed the Paris Olympics but now she's back on top after winning the U s open she drank champagne from the trophy
