Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina has won the US Open women’s singles title after defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 2-1 in the final. Sabalenka was visibly frustrated following the defeat and smashed her racket in a moment of anger. According to media reports, she could face a fine of up to $50,000 for breaking the racket, while additional violations could push the total penalty to as much as $70,000. Sabalenka said it was difficult to control her emotions after losing a Grand Slam final and that breaking the racket helped her release her frustration.
