Aryna Sabalenka is the 2024 US Open champion: how many grand slams titles has she won?
Aryna Sabalenka is the 2024 US Open champion after a straight-sets victory over home favourite Jessica Pegula of the United States.
The second seed from Belarus shaded a comPetitive first set and eventually prevailed in a rollercoaster second, claiming a 7-5, 7-5 win at Arthur Ashe Stadium at Flushing Meadows.
Sabalenka, who remains the world number two, was playing in her second US Open final in succession having been beaten by Coco Gauff, another American in 2023. On that occasion, she comfortably took the opening set but was eventually outdone by the Georgia native, who fought back from a slow start to win.
Sabalenka’s three Grand Slam victories
As a result of her victory in New York, former world No. 1 Sabalenka has now won three Grand Slams in her career, all of which have come in the last 20 months.
She started 2023 by winning the Australian Open in Melbourne, defeating Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina in three sets in the final. She then defended her title 12 months later, beating Chinese youngster Zheng Qinwen in straight sets in the showpiece Game.
The Belarusian star has become of women’s Tennis most consistent Grand Slam performers in recent years despite having to deal with two personal tragedies. In addition to winning back-to-back Australian Opens (2023, 2024) and now the US Open, she reached the final of last year’s final in New York, as well as the semifinals of Roland-Garros and Wimbledon (twice) since 2021.
