# Tennis: World number one Aryna Sabalenka says she remains confident as she begins her bid for a third consecutive US Open title in New York. The Belarusian arrives without a tournament victory since March and has suffered early exits at the French Open, Wimbledon, Canadian Open and Cincinnati. Despite the recent slump, Sabalenka says she has used the setbacks to strengthen her mental game and believes it is only a matter of time before she finds her best form again. A third straight title would put her alongside legends Chris Evert and Serena Williams.
