The top two seeds at the US Open 2026 clash in the women’s singles final on Saturday, as two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka takes on soon-to-be world No.

O confronto de sábado no Arthur Ashe Stadium oferece à número um Sabalenka a oportunidade de completar um raro “three-peat” de títulos do US Open – um feito alcançado por apenas duas outras mulheres.

But second seed Rybakina will try to deal Sabalenka another blow, having already ensured the Belarusian’s 99-week reign at the top when the rankings are updated on Monday.

À medida que o par se reúne em uma final de Grand Slam pela terceira vez, a Al Jazeera revela tudo que você precisa saber.

Who did Sabalenka and Rybakina beat in the semifinals.

Sabalenka eliminou a americana de topo de ranking, Jessica Pegula, 7-5, 6-2, na primeira semifinal na quinta-feira, continuando sua busca para se juntar a Chris Evert e Serena Williams como as únicas mulheres a vencer três títulos consecutivos do US Open.

In the second semifinal, Rybakina silenced the partisan crowd, rallying from a set down to beat 2023 champion Coco Gauff 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

When did Sabalenka and Rybakina last meet.

Eles se encontraram três vezes este ano, com Sabalenka vencendo o duelo semifinal em Miami e a final em Indian Wells, no sul da Califórnia.

Rybakina won just once; however, it was the biggest of the three, lifting the Australian Open title in Melbourne.

Rybakina not putting pressure on herself before Sabalenka showdown.

Rybakina disse que não vai se colocar pressão extra antes de sua primeira final do US Open, vendo o confronto como mais uma oportunidade de se testar contra uma rival que a empurra ao limite.

Sabalenka ready for ‘whatever it takes’ to win.

A imbatível Sabalenka bateu sem piedade a terceira em número de sementes Pegula com seus poderosos golpes de fundo de quadra, dizendo que estava “super desesperada” para chegar à sua quarta final consecutiva.

How many Grand Slams has Sabalenka won.

The 28-year-old has four major titles in her cabinet: two Australian Open titles (2023 and 2024), and two US Open crowns (2024 and 2025).

How many Grand Slams has Rybakina won.

The Russian-born Kazakh has two major titles: the 2022 Wimbledon title and the 2026 Australian Open title.

Qual é o recorde de confrontos diretos entre Sabalenka e Rybakina.

Saturday’s final will be their 18th career meeting, with Sabalenka leading the head-to-head 10-7.

Isso também marcará a terceira vez que eles se enfrentarão em uma final de Grand Slam, depois que Rybakina venceu o Australian Open de 2026 e Sabalenka triunfou no mesmo grande torneio em 2023.

History suggests Sabalenka is the favourite at Flushing Meadows, having not been beaten since losing the 2023 final to Gauff.

The current World No. 1 has dropped only one set en route to the title clash, and seems to have hit her peak form just before the final in a “last push of the season”.

That said, Rybakina will be no pushover for Sabalenka. Her fighting spirit and ability to stay cool under pressure headlined her semifinal victory, giving Sabalenka a taste of what to expect as the top seeds clash in a major finale once again.

Rybakina, no entanto, admitiu que precisa elevar seu jogo para o confronto de sábado contra Sabalenka, a quem descreveu como uma "jogadora incrível.

Who else has done a US Open three-peat.

The last player to win three consecutive titles in New York was tennis legend Serena Williams, the champion from 2012 to 2014.

Former World No. 1 Evert also pulled off three in a row between 1976 and 1978.

Where can I watch the US Open final.

The final will be televised or live-streamed around the world by its international broadcast partners.

You can find your regional broadcaster on the official US Open website’s TV listing.
