The US Open will crown the 2026 women's singles champion Saturday, as soon-to-be world No. 1 Elena Rybakina faces Aryna Sabalenka — the player she beat in this year's Australian Open final, and the one she just displaced at the top of the rankings.Rybakina earned her new ranking with a quarterfinal win over Qinwen Zheng on Wednesday, prior to knocking off No. 4-seeded Coco Gauff in the semifinal on the way to her first-ever US Open singles final.

Saturday is her fourth straight US Open final, and she's chasing a third straight title, which would make her the first woman to three-peat at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams.Saturday marks the third Grand Slam final between the two, with the first two split at the Australian Open — Sabalenka in 2023, Rybakina in 2026. Who will break the tie between them? We'll soon find out.Where to watch Elena Rybakina vs. Aryna Sabalenka in US Open women's singles finalStart time: 4 p.m. ETLocation: Arthur Ashe Stadium | Queens, N.Y.TV channel/live stream: ESPNFollow along with Yahoo Sports for the latest highlights, news and more as new world No. 1 Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka face off in the 2026 US Open women's singles final.
