For Aryna Sabalenka<\/a>, the US Open final is more than just a chance to lift another Grand Slam trophy, it is an opportunity to exorcise the ghosts of recent finals and assert herself as the dominant force she has proven to be throughout the season. <\/p>\n

As Patrick Mouratoglou noted in a video posted on his social networks<\/a>, \u201cSabalenka is not a surprise. She\u2019s the number one in the world. She\u2019s very consistent throughout the season. She\u2019s always there. It\u2019s really rare when she has a bad loss against a player she\u2019s not supposed to lose against. So we can\u2019t say it\u2019s a surprise at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Sabalenka has been remarkably consistent in 2025, a fixture in the final stages of tournaments and a player whose presence is always felt at the highest level. Yet, despite her brilliance on court, two recent Grand Slam finals, against Madison Keys at the Australian Open and Coco Gauff in Roland-Garros, ended in disappointment. <\/p>\n

Both matches were situations where, as Mouratoglou emphasized, she was \u201creally dominating\u2026 [and her] tennis level is above the opponent,\u201d but the mental hurdles in crucial moments proved decisive.<\/p>\n

if the same scenario happens again, it\u2019s going to hurt her really bad<\/p>\n

The match against Amanda Anisimova presents both a challenge and a critical turning point. Mouratoglou underlined the significance: \u201cFor Aryna, it\u2019s a very, very important match\u2026 it\u2019s a great occasion for her to break that problem and sort it out. If she does, I think it\u2019s going to help her tremendously in the next seasons, and probably she will be able to win many more majors. But if the same scenario happens again, it\u2019s going to hurt her really bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winning on Saturday would not only add a second US Open trophy to Sabalenka\u2019s collection but also mark a psychological breakthrough. Mouratoglou summarized perfectly: \u201cWinning a Grand Slam is always extremely important, but more than that, there is more on the line than just a Grand Slam title. There is her ability to overcome what she\u2019s gone through in the last two Grand Slam finals she played.\u201d <\/p>\n

The world number one has the chance to silence doubt, prove her resilience, and step into the next chapter of her career with newfound confidence.<\/p>\n

For Sabalenka, the stakes are clear: victory in New York is not just about the title, it\u2019s about mental redemption, legacy, and reaffirming her place at the very top of women\u2019s tennis.<\/p>\n
