Jessica Pegula and Aryna Sabalenka are set to compete in the U.S. Open final at Flushing Meadows. The match will take place at Arthur Ashe Stadium at around 4 p.m. EDT. Pegula, a 30-year-old from New York and the No. 6 seed, is appearing in her first-ever Grand Slam final after breaking her streak of losses in major quarterfinals by defeating No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the previous round.
On the other hand, Sabalenka, a 26-year-old from Belarus and the No. 2 seed, is aiming for her third major championship. She has previously won the Australian Open for the past two seasons and was the runner-up in the 2023 U.S. Open. Sabalenka enters the final on an impressive 11-match winning streak, providing a tough challenge for Pegula.
While Pegula has won 15 of her last 16 matches, all on hard courts similar to those at Flushing Meadows, her solitary loss in this recent run was against Sabalenka in the Cincinnati Open final last month. The stage is set for an intense and competitive final between these two talented players.
In the men’s final on Sunday, No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy will face No. 12 Taylor Fritz of the United States. Sinner is vying for his second Grand Slam title, while Fritz is aiming to become the first American male player to win a major championship since Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open. It promises to be an exciting conclusion to the U.S. Open tournament.
