Aryna Sabalenka v Elena Rybakina: US Open 2026 women’s singles final – live

It’s going to be really tough match. She’s a big server. She really improved over the years on the baseline game, so it’s going to be physically and mentally tough. I’m ready for the fight. I’m ready to do everything to get the win.

I wasn’t really performing well in the middle part of the season, so it kind of like feels for me, talking about grand slams, a last push of the season. I wanted it badly, to go to the final, and of course I want to go all the way. The mentality is just: ‘I’m ready.’ I’m ready for whatever it’s going to take to get the win.

The last couple of months really teach me how to shut down the noise from outside. I think that’s what’s the meaning behind all of those tough lessons to finally learn how to stay focused on myself and forget about the outside noise.
