New to Kayo?Source: Getty Images With heavy rain hitting Flushing Meadows on Saturday afternoon, the final was played under a roof, which made the conditions heavier.
The American, who was playing in her first grand slam final, fought especially hard to work back in the set and then saved four set points when serving at 5-6. Jessica Pegula of the United States celebrates a point against Aryna Sabalenka. Having dropped the opening set, Pegula found herself under pressure immediately in the second when double-faulting on break point to fall behind 2-0.
Deploying her slice backhand effectively, she was able to break Sabalenka for the second time in succession to move ahead when the Belurusian could not handle a shot that skidded low to her forehand.
