So if you’re watching the 2026 US Open final, remember this: Aryna Sabalenka is 28 years old. Born in Minsk. A two-time defending champion. She’s not just playing tennis; she’s writing a story. And she’s doing it with a big smile and a bigger serve.
Here’s to hoping she gives us another epic. And even if she loses—which she won’t, let’s be real—she’s already cemented herself as one of the greats. At 28, the best is likely still ahead. Or at least, that’s what I’ll tell myself while I eat a croissant. Want one?
