- No 2 seed beats American 6-3, 7-6(2) in women’s semi-final in New York
- Jessica Pegula takes on Karolína Muchová for spot in singles decider
Aryna Sabalenka has reached her second consecutive US Open women’s singles final by beating Emma Navarro 6-3, 7-6 (2) with her usual brand of high-risk, high-reward tennis.
The No 2 seed came up a victory short of claiming the championship a year ago when losing to Coco Gauff in front of a partisan crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium, but refused to let another American opponent get too comfortable in this semi-final.
