The match ended in dramatic fashion when both Mertens and Sabalenka were drawn into the net and Barty sent a lob over both their heads. Sabalenka raced back to track it down and managed to put it back in play but Azarenka misfired with her overhead smash.The win caps a dominant run by the pair, who completed the Sunshine Double with wins in Indian Wells and the Miami Open this year before making their first appearance in a major final together.“I just think it’s the crowd. I mean they keep me going every time,” the Belgian said in an on-court interview.
The win denied Barty in her bid for back-to-back U.S. Open doubles victories after claiming her maiden Grand Slam doubles title with CoCo Vandeweghe in New York last year.“It was a great two weeks. I love playing with Ashleigh,” Azarenka said.Additional reporting by Amy Tennery; Editing by Christian Radnedge
