WTA Weekly: Sabalenka soars to Cincinnati win | Who can stop her at US Open?

Aryna Sabalenka won her first title since January's Australian Open by powering past Jessica Pegula in the final of the Cincinnati Open.

The Belarusian needed 76 minutes to wrap up a 6-3 7-5 victory for the 15th title of her career and her sixth at WTA 1,000 level.

The result ended a nine-match winning streak for American Pegula, who defended her Canadian Open title last week.

"This trophy means a lot, it is a really big achievement, especially coming after injury, with this fear of getting injured again," Sabalenka, who missed Wimbledon with a shoulder injury, said in her courtside interview, broadcast by Sky Sports.
