How Rybakina won the 2026 US Open
Rybakina was the second seed and won seven matches. The first four were in straight sets: Thea Frodin 6-3, 6-2, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-2, 6-4, Yuliia Starodubtseva 7-6, 6-3, and the 13th seed Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 in the fourth round.
Then she had to come from behind. She lost the first set to Qinwen Zheng in the quarterfinal and won 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. She lost the first set to the fourth seed Coco Gauff in the semifinal and won 3-6, 6-4, 6-4. That is two comebacks in a row.
The final was a rematch. Rybakina had beaten Sabalenka in the Australian Open final on January 31, and she did it again in New York after Sabalenka, the top seed, took the second set 7-5.
Sabalenka’s four straight US Open finals
The runner-up has been here before. Sabalenka lost the 2023 final to Gauff, won in 2024 against Jessica Pegula and in 2025 against Amanda Anisimova, then lost this one. Four finals in four years.
Her closest match in 2026 came before the semifinal. She beat the sixth seed Linda Noskova 7-6, 3-6, 7-6 in the quarterfinal, winning the deciding tiebreak 10-7, then beat the third seed Pegula 7-5, 6-2. In the other quarterfinals, Gauff beat the fifth seed Mirra Andreeva 2-6, 7-6, 6-2 and Pegula beat Emma Navarro 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

2027 US Open women’s odds
No price is posted, so this page names none. ESPN, which carries the tour scores, lists no tennis futures for the 2026 or 2027 seasons, and its tennis scoreboards carry no match odds. A number quoted today for next August would come from nowhere we can check.
When a board opens, turn each price into a chance before you judge it. A price of +400 implies 20%. A price of +1000 implies 9.1%. A futures bet is worth making only when you rate the player’s chance higher than the price does, and with the tournament almost a year away that is a hard case to make for anyone at a short number.
