Two-time defending champion Sabalenka powers past Pegula into US Open final
Top seed Aryna Sabalenka stormed into the final with a straight sets demolition of American third seed Jessica Pegula 7-5, 6-2.
Top seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus advanced to the US Open final on Thursday, with a commanding 7-5, 6-2 victory over American third seed Jessica Pegula in the women's singles semi-finals. The 28-year-old Belarusian, who previously won US Open titles in 2024 and 2025, will face the winner of the other semi-final match between Elena Rybakina or Coco Gauff.
Sabalenka, bidding to become only the third player to claim three consecutive US Open crowns, displayed her best performance of the tournament, serving seven aces and 29 winners in dispatching Pegula. The young American had narrowly missed out on a career Grand Slam title by losing to Sabalenka in last year's final.
