The American SetA Crown Changes Hands at Flushing Meadows
Elena Rybakina is the newly crowned women's champion of the US Open, having outlasted Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set final on Saturday. The scoreline tells the story on its own: 6-4, 5-7, 6-2, a match that swung back the other way before Rybakina closed it out. Not a straightforward coronation, but a contested one — the kind of final worth marking down as the moment the title changed hands.
