Elena Rybakina wins US Open title after defeating Aryna Sabalenka

Elena Rybakina secured her first US Open title on September 12, 2026, at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The top-seeded player from Kazakhstan defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the women's singles final with a score of 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. This victory marks Rybakina's third career major title, adding to her previous wins at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. Her arrival for the match in an all-burgundy outfit drew attention for aligning with a trend of past champions wearing the color at the event. Rybakina, who beat Sabalenka in the Australian Open final earlier this year, joins a select group of women to win three or more major titles since 2020.
