US Open men's and women's singles progression

Overview

The US Open women’s singles final will feature Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka. Rybakina secured her spot with a three-set comeback victory against Coco Gauff (3-6, 6-4, 6-4), a win that guarantees her ascent to the world number one ranking regardless of the final result. This victory will end Sabalenka’s 99-week reign at the top of the WTA rankings. Sabalenka reached the final by defeating Jessica Pegula in straight sets (7-5, 6-2), marking her eighth consecutive Major final on hard courts. Sabalenka is currently pursuing her third consecutive US Open title and noted that losing the top ranking feels ‘a bit weird’, though her focus remains on the match.

Regarding the upcoming final, Rybakina noted the difficulty of playing against Sabalenka’s aggressive style and powerful serve, stating, “I will definitely have to serve much better than today and stay aggressive.”

In the men’s singles draw, Alexander Zverev has advanced to the semifinals after defeating Botic van de Zandschulp (6-2, 7-5, 6-1). This victory allows Zverev to break a German record held by Boris Becker since 1989, reaching 23 Grand Slam victories this year. Following the earlier elimination of Carlos Alcaraz by Ben Shelton, Zverev has emerged as a primary title favorite. Zverev is scheduled to face Karen Khachanov in the semifinals, while Ben Shelton will play Frances Tiafoe. Zverev expressed frustration regarding match scheduling, noting his match was placed in an earlier slot rather than the cooler night session used for the all-American semifinal.

Separately, in men’s doubles, former world number one Rajeev Ram announced his retirement from professional tennis following a semifinal loss alongside partner Joe Salisbury.
