No. 1-seeded Sabalenka took the first set against Anisimova 6-3. She nearly repeated the first set for the second set but Anisimova, a 24-year-old New Jersey native, put up a fight and pushed Sabalenka to break a 6-6 tie.
The Belarusian held a commanding lead and was first to hit the 7-point tiebreaker, winning her the title.
