Tennis sensation Aryna Sabalenka is the winner of the Miami Open 2025. The world number one defeated Jessica Pegula to win the Miami Open 2025 in the hard courts of Florida with a scoreline of 7-5, 6-2. This was a much-needed title win for her after she ended her journey as the first runner-up in the 2020 Australian Open and Indian Wells following her losses to Madison Keys and Mirra Andreeva, respectively.
The Belarusian had a fine start to the game with two players who showcased their resilience and made long rallies. But Sabalenka took an early lead in the game. The 26-year-old star player continued her blistering form, executing outrageous hits with incredible points to completely dominate Pegula to gain an advantage over her weakness to win this clash in straight sets.
After her win over Pegula, the world number one was seen erupting in emotional celebration. The 26-year-old star player showcased extreme joy and a sigh of relief after winning her first WTA 1000 title of this year. Sabalenka stretched her arms in the air and kissed the sky. This winning celebration showcases her hunger to remain the world's number one.
