US Open Women's Singles Final: Sabalenka vs. Rybakina

The US Open women's singles final on Saturday will feature Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, the tournament's No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively. This matchup is notable as it is the first time since 2013 that the top two seeds have met in this final.

This will be the 18th encounter between the two players, with Sabalenka leading their overall series 10-7, although Rybakina has a 4-2 advantage in finals. Their previous Grand Slam meetings have seen Sabalenka hold a 2-1 edge, but Rybakina won their last encounter at the 2026 Australian Open.

Sabalenka has had a strong tournament, winning most of her matches in straight sets, while Rybakina has faced more challenges, needing to come back in both her quarterfinal and semifinal matches. Despite Rybakina's rise to the No. 1 ranking, oddsmakers favor Sabalenka for the final, indicating a competitive match ahead.
