Aryna Sabalenka beats Jessica Pegula in Miami Open final for 19th tour title

  • Aryna Sabalenka, a 26-year-old Belarusian power player with 18 career titles, defeated fourth-seeded American Jessica Pegula in the Miami Open final, which was a rematch of the 2024 U.S. Open final, with the score being 7-5, 6-2.
  • Sabalenka's victory in Miami marked her first title there and came after losing in the finals of the Australian Open and Indian Wells earlier in 2025, with Indian Wells preceding Miami.
  • The first set was topsy-turvy, characterized by poor service holds, including Sabalenka breaking Pegula's serve four times to eventually win the set 7-5.
  • Following her victory, Sabalenka, who leads the series against Pegula 7-2 and has won the last three meetings, quoted, "Thank God the rain stopped," while Pegula, during the trophy ceremony, acknowledged Sabalenka as "the best player in the world for a reason" and said: "You keep challenging everyone to get better."
  • Sabalenka's Miami Open win, which earned her $1.1 million, signifies a rebound after finals losses earlier in the year and demonstrates her continued dominance over Pegula, adding to her status as a three-time Grand Slam champion who reached the finals of four of six events this year and copped one title before Miami in Brisbane.
