Sabalenka and Rybakina set to contest US Open women's final

Top‑seeded Aryna Sabalenka and second‑seeded Elena Rybakina will meet in the women's singles final of this year’s Grand Slam, marking their second championship clash of the season. The pair first faced off in the Australian Open final earlier this year, where Sabalenka secured a straight‑sets victory to claim her first major title. Both players have navigated a demanding draw to reach the final again, each dispatching former champions and top‑ranked opponents without dropping a set.

Sabalenka’s powerful baseline game and aggressive serve have remained dominant throughout the tournament, while Rybakina has relied on her versatile shot‑making and resilience in three‑set battles to advance. Their head‑to‑head record now stands evenly at one win apiece, adding a competitive edge to the upcoming match. The final, scheduled for Saturday afternoon, will determine which of the year’s leading contenders adds another Grand Slam crown to her résumé.
