Aryna Sabalenka defeats Camila Osorio in US Open first round
Summary

Aryna Sabalenka opened her campaign for a third consecutive US Open title with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Camila Osorio at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The world number one fended off three break points in the second set to secure the win in one hour and 28 minutes. This result comes amid a recent dip in form for Sabalenka, who faces pressure to retain her top ranking as rivals Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, and Coco Gauff remain in contention at Flushing Meadows. Sabalenka, a four-time major singles champion, must successfully defend her 2,000 points to keep her current ranking position. She is now scheduled to face Russian qualifier Polina Iatcenko in the next round of the tournament.
