Top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka recorded 31 winners while sailing to a 7-5, 6-2 victory over fourth-seeded Jessica Pegula on Saturday to win the Miami Open for the first time in her career. Sabalenka, ranked No. 1 in the world, saved 7 of 11 break points while winning her 19th career title and eighth at the 1000 level.

Sabalenka, the world No. 1, beat Jessica Pegula 7-5, 6-2 in a topsy-turvy Miami Open final in which she managed to play the biggest points just a little bit better than Pegula, an American playing just down the road from her South Florida home.

Aryna Sabalenka, a three-time Grand Slam champion, defeated Jessica Pegula on Saturday to cap off an impressive run at the Miami Open with a title, as the No. 1 seed from Belarus rolled to a 7-5, 6-2 victory in a rematch of the 2024 US Open final.
