Sabalenka v Pegula
Aryna Sabalenka is on a 12-match winning streak, including victory against Jessica Pegula in the final of the Cincinnati Open.
The Belarusian’s last defeat came in the third round of the Canadian Open at the hands of American Amanda Anisimova, who lost against Pegula later in that competition.
Pegula, meanwhile, has won 15 of her past 16 matches, including lifting the Canadian Open last month.
Sabalenka leads the head-to-head between the pair 5-2, but Pegula’s two wins have both come on hard courts, including in windy conditions at the WTA Finals last year.
Should she win, Sabalenka would claim a third Grand Slam title, and become just the fourth player in the past 10 years to win multiple majors in a season, after Serena Williams, Angelique Kerber and Iga Swiatek.
Pegula, meanwhile, would be the 10th American woman to win the US Open and the first Asian American woman to win a major singles title in the Open era.
