Nerves will play a part in the first US Open final for each of these players, but the fact that Sabalenka has already experienced winning a Grand Slam, coupled with the feeling of playing with house money considering how close she came to losing in the semifinals should make it easier for the slight favorite to handle the pressure. In the third, Sabalenka got down a break but fought back again and ultimately won the match tiebreak 10-5 to come away with a 0-6, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (5) victory. Emboldened by Keys' stumble serving for the match at 5-4, Sabalenka raised her level in the second-set tiebreak, taking it 7-1. From there, Sabalenka showcased her newfound ingenuity, dialing back the power and making sure to keep the ball in the court, which forced Keys to earn it and gave the American a chance to tighten up. After beginning the US Open with five dominant victories, she came out completely out of sorts against Madison Keys in the semifinals and fell behind 0-6, 3-5. Her most recent victory was also Sabalenka's most difficult. Between that tournament and this one, Sabalenka's a perfect 13-0 in hard-court Grand Slam matches in 2023. She has made the semifinals or better in all four majors and won her first such title this year at the Australian Open. Sabalenka has already clinched the top spot in next week's updated rankings, thanks in large part to her Grand Slam success.
