Rybakina triumphs in US Open, denies Sabalenka three-peat

Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina holds the winner’s trophy after winning the women’s singles final tennis match against Belarus’s Aryna Sabalenka on day fourteen of the US Open tennis tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City on September 12, 2026...

NEW YORK — Elena Rybakina denied Aryna Sabalenka a third straight US Open title on Saturday, punctuating her rise to world number one with a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 victory over the player she’s replacing at the summit.

Kazakhstan’s Rybakina, assured of supplanting Sabalenka atop the rankings by reaching the semi-finals in New York, won her third Grand Slam title to go with her 2022 Wimbledon crown and the Australian Open trophy she lifted this year with a win over Sabalenka.

Rybakina has played three of her four Grand Slam finals against Sabalenka, winning two and losing one, at the 2023 Australian Open.
