Aryna Sabalenka won her first US Open title as she put the disappointment of last year's final behind her to hold off American home hope Jessica Pegula.
Sabalenka was seen smashing her racquet on the floor of the locker room after losing the Flushing Meadows showpiece to Coco Gauff 12 months ago.
But the Belarusian second seed dropped to the floor in celebration as she redeemed herself with a thrilling 7-5 7-5 win over New York-born Pegula to clinch her third Grand Slam title.
It continues Sabalenka's dominance on hard courts, with the win over the sixth seed extending her unbeaten run on the surface at major tournaments to 14 matches.
