Aryna Sabalenka is set to face Jessica Pegula in the women’s final of the US Open on Saturday at 9 PM. This marks Sabalenka’s second consecutive appearance in the US Open final, having lost to Coco Gauff last year, while Pegula will be competing in her first Grand Slam final.
The two athletes recently faced off in Cincinnati, where Sabalenka emerged victorious, positioning her as the favorite to claim a third major title. Sabalenka has proven herself formidable on hard courts, having won two Australian Open titles. However, Pegula will have the advantage of the home crowd, aiming to replicate the success Gauff achieved a year ago.
Saturday’s coverage of the US Open will commence at 5 PM, featuring the men’s doubles final with Australian duo Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson taking on German team Kevin Krawietz and Tim Putz. Additionally, at the same time, Britain’s Mika Stojsavljevic will compete against Japan’s Wakana Sonobe for the Junior Girls US Open title.
