Live updates from the US Open women’s final: Jessica Pegula goes for her first Grand Slam title against world number 2 Aryna Sabalenka

Jessica Pegula is hoping to capitalize on her strong US Open run with a first Grand Slam title today in New York, with Aryna Sabalenka, the two-time reigning Australian Open champion and No. 2 in the WTA rankings, standing in her way. While Sabalenka may have the upper hand in Grand Slam finals — she won two last year and lost in the US Open final — Pegula did beat the world’s highest-ranked player Iga Swiatek en route to the final, so she’ll be no stranger to big matches on this big stage.

The two have met seven times before, most recently in the final in Cincinnati just three weeks ago. Sabalenka won that match in straight sets to take the title. She leads their all-time series 5-2. Pegula’s last win over Sabalenka came in the first round of the 2023 WTA Finals, where she lost to Swiatek in the final of that tournament.
