sport">The 22-year-old Osaka had to chase in New York, because the first set went to Azarenka by force majeure. The Belarusian, who, just like the fourth-placed Osaka, started the final battle with two grand slam titles in her back pocket, jumped off the starting blocks and scored an excellent 6-1 score.
sport">Osaka by no means gave in and tied the score in the second set: 6-3. In the decisive third set, the Japanese crowned herself convincingly, by scoring a 6-3 score, just like in the second set. It is the third grand slam title in Osaka’s career, who also wrote the Australian Open in 2019. It was already Azarenka’s third defeat in the final battle of the US Open.
sport">Osaka earns 3 million dollars with its title, which is more than 2.5 million euros.
