Aryna Sabalenka (BLR/WTA) wins the Women's Singles at US Open 2026 (USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows, Final September 13, 2026)
Aryna Sabalenka is the two-time defending champion (2024, 2025) and tops the 2026 US Open entry list. Bookmaker odds imply ~24% (odds +200), making her the clear favourite. Main rivals: Iga Swiatek (+550, ~15%), Elena Rybakina (+800, ~11%), Coco Gauff (+400, ~20%), Mirra Andreeva (+800, ~11%). Sabalenka's hard court record over the last 12 months: 31–4.

Cassandra adopts the market anchor of 24% without adjustment – Grand Slam title retention is statistically difficult (~35% for women's defending champions), but Sabalenka is clearly dominant on this surface.
