Elena Rybakina after beating Aryna Sabalenka in the U.S. Open final
“It’s tough to find words right now. I didn’t expect anything like this coming to this tournament. I’ve been dealing a bit with an injury. Somehow everything aligned together on my side. I just want to say Aryna you’re a great champion. It’s so difficult to play you. You push to such a limit. I was doubting on the court and trying to get to all the possible balls. Congrats to you for all the achievements. Congrats to your team. You guys are doing an amazing job. I can’t find the words now, sorry.” 🥹
“I was coming here for the last ten years and was never successful. Nothing close to that. It’s just incredible. I’m falling in love with New York more and more. It’s amazing memories for me. Thank you guys.” ❤️
