Coming into the US Open, Aryna Sabalenka was the top seed and the defending champion, but the odds were stacked against her, as she had two runner-up finishes and a close semifinal loss in the three Majors in 2025, so far, and no one had defended the New York Major since Serena Williams in 2014.

After she completed her victory, Sabalenka appeared on the BBC network, talking about her successful campaign, and admitted that this win was more significant for her as she had to face a lot of challenges, and that she had faith in the hard work she put in behind the scenes, which made her confident about winning a Major title this year.

"This one felt different. It felt like I had to overcome a lot of things to get it. I knew that because of the hard work we put in, I deserved to have a Grand Slam title this season. When I fell, it was because it means a lot to defend this title and to bring such great tennis," said Aryna Sabalenka (via BBC).

With Sabalenka withdrawing from the China Open, it opens up an opportunity for Iga Swiatek to close the gap to the Belarusian in the WTA rankings, should the Pole have a deep run in Beijing, making it an interesting prospect in the closing stages of the 2025 season.
