- ‘I’m just speechless right now and super-happy’
Aryna Sabalenka further cemented her status as the best player in the world as she closed out a dominant fortnight with an imperious performance to win the Miami Open for the first time in her career with a 7-5, 6-2 win over the fourth seed Jessica Pegula.
With another formidable victory, Sabalenka has now won 19 WTA titles, including eight at WTA 1000 level alongside her three grand slam titles. A reflection of her consistency, Sabalenka is the third WTA No 1 in history to reach the finals of the Australian Open, Indian Wells and the Miami Open in the same year.
