American tennis star Jessica Pegula is aiming for her first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open final against the formidable Aryna Sabalenka. Pegula, who has faced significant injury setbacks this year, is riding high on her recent form and the enthusiastic support of the home crowd.

In a candid reflection, Pegula shared, 'If you would have told me at the beginning of the year I'd be in the finals of the U.S. Open, I would have laughed so hard.' She added that overcoming these challenges in her home country makes the moment even more special.

Meanwhile, Sabalenka, the reigning two-time Australian Open champion, is eager to avenge her loss in last year's U.S. Open final. 'Last year it was a very tough experience. I wasn't ready,' she admitted. This year, she is focused and prepared for another competitive match against Pegula, promising an exciting showdown on Saturday.
