When is the women’s final at the US Open? How to watch Jessica Pegula battle Aryna Sabalenka


For the second consecutive year, an American woman has reached the finals of the U.S. Open.

 

Jessica Pegula, seeded No. 6 and hailing from Buffalo, New York, will participate in her first Grand Slam final against second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka. This match is set for Saturday in New York City. It will serve as a rematch of last month’s Cincinnati Open final, where Sabalenka triumphed over Pegula with scores of 6-3, 7-5.

“Since it’s a rematch from Cincinnati, I hope to seek some revenge this time,” Pegula remarked on Thursday.

Sabalenka is also seeking to make amends. The two-time major champion made it to the U.S. Open finals last year but was defeated by American Coco Gauff. She aims to secure her third major title on hard courts after winning the Australian Open consecutively in 2023 and 2024.
