Americans OUT! 💔 Sabalenka & Rybakina Take Down Gauff & Pegula | US Open Final Preview

World No. 1 vs impending World No. 1. It doesn’t get much bigger than this! Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina are set for a blockbuster US Open final after both battled through their semi-finals on Day 12. Join Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as we look back on Rybakina backing up securing her first-ever World No. 1 ranking to be made official on Monday by battling past Coco Gauff to reach her first US Open final, while Sabalenka produced what Jessica Pegula called the best match she’s played all year to reach her fourth consecutive final in New York. Is this the perfect final for the US Open, and after their incredible Australian Open final earlier this year, will Sabalenk be able to serve up some revenge?

We also get stuck into the semi-final performances themselves, with Rybakina recovering from a shaky start to get past Gauff and Sabalenka once again showing just how ridiculous her record is on hard courts of grand slams. With her 99-week reign at No. 1 now over, could winning the US Open be the perfect response from Sabalenka? And after reaching eight consecutive Grand Slam finals on hard courts, is she simply a different beast in New York? Plus, we preview the blockbuster Rybakina vs Sabalenka final, debate where it could be won and lost and make our final predictions.
