The U.S. Open women’s singles final is set to take place on Saturday at Arthur Ashe Stadium, featuring a showdown between Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula. Sabalenka, the second seed, will be vying for her second consecutive U.S. Open final appearance after falling short to Coco Gauff last year. Pegula, a crowd favorite, will be making her debut in a Grand Slam final.
Sabalenka's impressive performance has seen her reach all four hard-court Grand Slam finals in the past two seasons, currently riding an 11-match win streak. She has the opportunity to become the first woman since 2016 to clinch both hard-court Grand Slam titles in the same year. Pegula, at 30 years old, is the oldest American woman in the Open Era to reach her first Grand Slam final.
