After losing the final in 2023 against Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka finally won her first US Open and her third Grand Slam. The Belorussian player defeated Jessica Pegula (7-5, 7-5) on Saturday, and she hasn’t wasted any time in celebrating her victory on social media.

As is tradition, Sabalenka posted a TikTok video with her new US Open trophy. “I don’t wanna turn this into a competition… But, like, I win,” she lip-sync before “Princess Diana” by Nicki Minaj starts playing.

“Is this real life?”, she captioned the clip. Much like Gauff, Sabalenka is one of the most active players in the social media platform. The Belorussian has a good following on TikTok (386K followers), as well as 3.8M likes.
