Aryna Sabalenka says she is motivated to come back stronger after being denied a third consecutive US Open title. She is also removed from the world No. 1 ranking she had held for 99 weeks, with the change described as taking effect on Monday. In response to the setbacks, Sabalenka frames the loss as part of a season of disappointment and indicates she is prepared to respond with renewed focus.
Both outlets present Sabalenka’s reaction rather than additional match details. Yahoo Sports adds context about her overall time at No. 1, saying her reign totals 107 weeks when including the 99-week uninterrupted run. NDTV similarly highlights that the US Open result both stops her bid for a third straight title and ends her 99-week stretch at the top.
