Aryna Sabalenka didn't only receive the US Open trophy for winning at Flushing Meadows as a tradition continued with WWE deciding to make her a custom championship belt also.
Sabalenka produced a superb display to down Jessica Pegula and win a third Grand Slam. A first outside of the Australian Open. She won 7-5, 7-5 against Jessica Pegula and it extended her head to head lead also to 6-2 over the American.
Following the win, Sabalenka stunned in her photoshoot as ever with the Belarusian well known for having some of the best title winning photos in the sport currently. She was then presented with a custom WWE title which she was eager to try on in a priceless reaction.
A common feature especially in the States in winning the accolade, it is a momento that no doubt Sabalenka will hold high and an unexpected one at that for her after sealing the title.
"Oh my god this, wait, I hold it this way right?" Sabalenka said. "This is I mean, Crazy! Oh my god this is unbelievable. I like it, so cool. Let me see it, sick. Thank you, I love it. I am gonna be wearing this one," she added.
It has been very much a fortnight of not giving up for Sabalenka who has weathered some adversity at times this year but came out the other end to seal another Grand Slam. "You know everything I'm thinking, I remember all those stuff, losses in the past here and, and you know, just, it's gonna sound easy but never give up on your dream and just keep, keep trying, keep working hard," Sabalenka said.
"And, if you're really working hard and you're sacrificing everything for your dream, you're gonna get it one day. So I'm just, I'm just super proud of myself. I never say that. But really guys, I'm super proud of myself."
