Champion Aryna Sabalenka (1) faces home hope Amanda Anisimova (8) in today\u2019s U.S. Open women\u2019s singles final. <\/strong>
World No. 1 Sabalenka has reached two Grand Slam finals this year but is yet to win a major in 2025.
She faces an American in Anisimova who reached her first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon in July \u2014 only to be humiliated 6-0, 6-0 by Iga \u015awi\u0105tek.
Anisimova gained revenge on \u015awi\u0105tek in the quarterfinals here. Can she finish her response by taking the title?
We have all the build-up, live action and reaction for you, right here.

The men\u2019s semifinals were wrapped up yesterday \u2014 and unlike how the women\u2019s last four was whittled down to two, the margins were a bit bigger as the big guns pulled through.
Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong> (2) came through his semifinal against Novak Djokovic<\/strong> (7) without too many problems, winning in straight sets (6-4, 7-6(4), 6-2) inside two-and-a-half hours.
Jannik Sinner<\/strong> (1) was given a tougher test by F\u00e9lix Auger-Aliassime<\/strong> (25), but prevailed in four sets (6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4) over the Canadian, in a match that lasted considerably more than three hours.

A hefty prize awaits whoever emerges victorious from the men\u2019s and women\u2019s singles brackets this weekend.
Each champion will earn $5 million<\/strong>, which roughly translates to \u00a33.7 million according to current conversion rates. Not a bad incentive!
The runners-up in the men\u2019s and women\u2019s singles have already guaranteed themselves a lucrative prize as well: $2.5 million<\/strong> each.
So let\u2019s be honest, there are no real losers in either of these Grand Slam finals.
That is the key question now to wrap up the 2025 major season.
Aryna Sabalenka<\/strong> (1) is looking to make up for those two previous losing appearances in a Grand Slam final this year. She is desperate to avoid a blank 2025.
For Amanda Anisimova<\/strong> (8), she now has the chance to nullify that Wimbledon nightmare far sooner than she may have dared dream \u2014 and against a player she beat on her way to that Wimbledon final.
Then in the men\u2019s side, and for the first time in the Open Era, Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong> (2) and Jannik Sinner<\/strong> (1) go head to head in a Grand Slam final for a third time in the same season.
What a 48 hours of tennis we have on the way, and all of it covered live right here on The Athletic<\/strong><\/em>.
The summer continued with another classic two weeks of action at the hallowed grounds in SW19.
Jannik Sinner<\/strong> and Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong> met again in the men\u2019s singles final, and this time the Italian got his revenge against the defending champion.
On the women\u2019s singles side, Amanda Anisimova<\/strong> made an inspiring run to the final including a semifinal upset against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka<\/strong> in the semifinal \u2014 a lineup that repeats in today\u2019s final, of course.
As has been well documented since, American had no answer for Iga \u015awi\u0105tek<\/strong> in the final as the heavy favorite rolled to a historic 6-0, 6-0 double-bagel victory for her first Wimbledon title.
But Anisimova got some revenge for that rout by knocking \u015awi\u0105tek out of this U.S. Open in their quarterfinal on Wednesday \u2014 and now she is hoping to complete the job.
The French Open, which started in May and ended in June, saw plenty of thrills and spills on the red clay of Roland Garros.
In the men\u2019s singles, Carlos Alcaraz<\/strong> defeated Jannik Sinner<\/strong> in an instant classic for the ages \u2014 a five-hour 29-minute epic that was the longest final in tournament history.
Given we\u2019ve got the same men\u2019s singles final lineup tomorrow in Flushing Meadows, you\u2019d better clear your diary.
In the women\u2019s final, American Coco Gauff<\/strong> won her second major after coming from behind to beat top seed Aryna Sabalenka<\/strong> \u2014 a losing finalist once again, despite having beaten the three-time defending champion Iga \u015awi\u0105tek<\/strong> in the semifinals.
Italian Sara Errani<\/strong> won the women\u2019s doubles with Jasmine Paolini, and the mixed doubles with Andrea Vavassori.<\/p>\n

The first major of the calendar year saw one of our finalists today, Aryna Sabalenka<\/strong>, attempt to become the first woman since Martina Hingis to win three Australian Open titles in a row.
It very nearly happened too, as she dropped just one set on her way to the final. But there she met Madison Keys<\/strong>, who won in three sets to lift the first major of her career.
On the men\u2019s side of the competition, top seed Jannik Sinner<\/strong> \u2014 also a finalist here in New York \u2014 defended his Australian Open title.
He dropped just two sets in the tournament, before sweeping Alexander Zverev<\/strong> in straight sets in the showpiece.

Hello again to you all and welcome back from Queens. It is great to have you with us.
This is the fourth and final major of the year, and it\u2019s almost over now.
So as we wait for today\u2019s women\u2019s singles final in New York, let\u2019s remind you how the other three slams finished …
The most famous of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center\u2019s three stadiums is Arthur Ashe Stadium<\/strong>, also named after an American tennis great.
It\u2019s the biggest tennis stadium in the world, seating 23,771<\/strong> at full capacity and has hosted numerous iconic moments through the years.
What will the venerated stadium have in store for us in today\u2019s women\u2019s singles final? We cannot wait to find out.
The iconic complex on the north end of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens is the crown jewel of American tennis venues.
USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center<\/strong> contains 22 hard courts, including three stadiums. Those courts are open to the public year-round \u2014 except when the U.S. Open is happening.
The venue also sits near several other sports and cultural hubs in Queens, including Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.
The center is directly operated by the United States Tennis Association, and it has hosted the U.S. Open every year since opening in 1978.
In 2006, the venue was renamed from the USTA National Tennis Center in order to honor U.S. tennis legend Billie Jean King, often among the luminaries on the grounds to watch the action \u2014 as has been the case during this year\u2019s championship.
It is a big day but our wish is the same as always \u2014 we would love to hear from you!
