2026 US Open Women's Final: Sabalenka vs. Rybakina

[Vince Evert]

at two hours 23 minutes, must be one of the longest women singles final if not the longest

the only blemish for her today was break-points conversion wasn't good, otherwise she was flawless - a great final to watch


Break Points Converted:

Elena 3/12
Arnya 1/3

Its kind hard to call it a blemish because she is facing the two time US Open defending champion and the world's number One for almost two straight years. Make no quarrels about Sabalenka had earned the title for being on top. She rarely looses early in a tournament and almost NEVER loose in straight sets.

look at the stats on their first and second serves speed, interestingly Elena had the edge on both :


Average 1st serve speed -
Arnya 173 km/h
Elena 181 km/h



Average 2nd serve speed -
Arnya 145 km/h
Elena 149 km/h

For Arnya, 35 unforced errors was another telling stat especially after her playing so magnificently in the semifinal.

I know she's emotional or whatever, but she didn't mention Rybakina or her team at all in her losers speech. Ryba mentions it first whether she wins or loses

Nah, she did congratulate her in fairness.
