In the upcoming 2026 US Open final, tennis stars Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina will clash in a highly anticipated women's singles showdown at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York. The much-anticipated match, set to take place on Saturday, September 12, will feature Sabalenka, the defending champion, going head-to-head against Rybakina, who emerged victorious in their head-to-head encounter at the Australian Open final earlier this year.
The match is scheduled to commence at 4:00 PM local time in New York, which corresponds to 1:30 AM IST on Sunday, September 13, in India.
Sabalenka, who secured her spot in the final with a commanding 7-5, 6-2 win over Jessica Pegula, is now one win away from accomplishing a remarkable feat – a hat-trick of consecutive US Open titles. Only Serena Williams managed to achieve this between 2012 and 2014. The 28-year-old Belarusian has also reached the final of the US Open for the fourth year in a row and is determined to add a fifth Grand Slam singles title to her already illustrious collection.
On the other hand, Rybakina, the Kazakhstani player, showcased her resilience after losing the opening set, ultimately defeating Coco Gauff in a grueling 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 semi-final. The Kazakhstani player's outstanding performance has guaranteed her a new world ranking of No. 1, erasing Sabalenka's 99-week reign at the top spot. The final will mark the 18th meeting between these two talented athletes, with Sabalenka holding a slight edge in their head-to-head record, 10-7.
Rybakina will undoubtedly look to challenge Sabalenka on the grandest stage of them all – the US Open in New York.
