Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, US Open 2026

The summit of the women’s season: Sabalenka meets Rybakina with the ranking settled and everything else still on the line

Aryna Sabalenka plays Elena Rybakina in the final of the US Open 2026, the third final at this tournament between the world No. 1 and No. 2 since 2000. Rybakina takes the No. 1 ranking on Monday regardless of the result, ending Sabalenka's 99-week run. Sabalenka has far more to lose, but she is playing her best tennis of the year.
