US Open: Sabalenka beats Pegula to clinch women’s singles title
No.2 seed Aryna Sabalenka captured her third Grand Slam singles title, and her first in New York City, defeating American Jessica Pegula, 7-5, 7-5 to win the US Open title.
After losing to the Swiss-Taiwanese pair of Martina Hingis and Chan Yung-jan in the semi-finals at the recent US Open, Indian tennis professional Sania Mirza was seen hitting the gym in a desperate attempt to regain fitness.
“Back at it. @thepilatesstudiohyderabad #harderthanitlooks,” Sania said on Instagram, posting a picture of herself training in gym.
Sania, partnering with China’s Peng Shuai, lost to Hingis-Yung-jan in straight sets 4-6, 4-6. The Swiss-Taiwanese pair later went on to clinch the women’s doubles title at the US Open.
The 30-year-old tennis star from Mumbai was seen doing pull-ups, mentioning it is harder than it looks.
So far in her career, Sania has won three doubles grand slams and was formerly ranked No.1 in the women’s doubles rankings.
