Overview
- Aryna Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 to reach a third consecutive US Open title match.
- Amanda Anisimova outlasted Naomi Osaka 6-7 (4), 7-6 (7), 6-3 to book her first US Open final and second career major final.
- The final is scheduled for Saturday at 22:00 MESZ with live coverage on Sky and Sporteurope.tv.
- World No. 1 Sabalenka is defending her New York crown and seeking her first major of 2025 after runner-up finishes in Melbourne and Paris and a Wimbledon semifinal exit; her path included a quarterfinal walkover after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew with a knee injury.
- Anisimova’s run follows a 0-6, 0-6 loss in the Wimbledon final and reflects a renewed surge after a previous break from the tour for mental-health reasons.
