KEY POINTS

  • Women's semifinals: Sabalenka vs Pegula, Rybakina vs Gauff — all top four seeds
  • Sabalenka seeks third straight US Open title; Pegula won 2 of last 3 meetings
  • Rybakina will become world No. 1 next week; Gauff is 2023 champion
  • Men's semifinal: Zverev vs Khachanov; Zverev only major winner left in draw
  • Sabalenka-Pegula match starts 7 p.m. ET Friday on Arthur Ashe Stadium

The US Open semifinals begin Friday in New York with all top four women's seeds advancing for the first time at a Grand Slam since Wimbledon 2009. Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka faces Jessica Pegula in a rematch of the 2024 final, while Elena Rybakina meets Coco Gauff in the other semi.

Sabalenka has dropped only one set en route to the last four, while Pegula has lost two. Pegula won two of their three meetings since last year's US Open, on grass in Berlin and hard court in Wuhan, though Sabalenka prevailed at the WTA Finals in Riyadh. The match starts at 7 p.m. ET on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

“Pegula is a problem solver and will have analyzed where she went wrong the last two times in New York”

— The National

Rybakina, who will become world No. 1 next week, has dominated on hard courts this fortnight, dismissing Naomi Osaka and Zheng Qinwen. Gauff, the 2023 champion, relies on home-crowd energy but faces a player many now consider the title favorite.

In the men's draw, Alexander Zverev is the sole Grand Slam winner remaining after Jannik Sinner's absence and Carlos Alcaraz's quarterfinal exit. Zverev, a semifinalist at all four majors this year, plays Karen Khachanov for a spot in Sunday's final.
