Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka is eyeing to become the first woman after Serena Williams to win a hattrick of US Open titles. Sabalenka has won the US Open in 2024 and 2025. Elena Rybakina has won two Grand Slams in her career so far - Wimbledon in 2022 and Australian Open in 2026.
Aryna Sabalenka will be trying become the first woman since Serena Williams to register a hattrick of US Open titles on Sunday as the world no.1 takes on Elena Rybakina. Only three women have won a hattrick of US Open titles, with Serena being the last to lift it three consecutive years from 2012 to 2014. This will be Sabalenka's 18th match-up against Rybakina.
While Sabalenka beat Jessica Pegula in straight sets in the semifinals, Rybakina rallied past local favourite Coco Gauff for a spot in the final. The 27-year-old Rybakina is one win away from her third major title and second this year. She won the Australian Open, beating Sabalenka in the final.
Irrespective of the result in the final, Rybakina will become the new no.1, dethroning Sabalenka, who held the top spot for 99 consecutive weeks. Rybakina won the Australian Open to start the season and then kept closing on Sabalenka after the Belarusian had a poor summer by her standards.
Rybakina needed only to reach the semifinals at the US Open 2026 to clinch the No. 1 ranking. For Sabalenka, who leads the head-to-head record against Rybakina, is the first player in the Open era to reach eight straight hard court Grand Slam finals, but she has stumbled in several.
