Jordyn Hazelitt was awarded the US Open final over Chukwumelije Clarke with the scoreline reading 6-3 3-6, the match ending after two sets that had gone one apiece. Hazelitt built the opening set on reliability rather than firepower: no aces, just one double fault, and a first serve that landed 72.4 percent of the time, backed by 64.3 percent of first-serve points won and a solid 56.2 percent behind the second.

For Hazelitt, it delivered a hard-court major title.
