Sabalenka is vying to become the third player to win three straight US Open titles
Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and Russia’s Polina Iatcenko clash head-on for the first time in their careers. Sabalenka is chasing history over here as she vies to become only the third woman ever to claim three straight US Open titles, joining Chris Evert and Serena Williams in that company.
Sabalenka arrives having eased past Camila Osorio 6-2, 6-4 in Round 1, continuing a run that has seen her reach the semi-finals or better at this US Open for five straight years.
Iatcenko’s route this US Open has been anything but easy. Ranked 160 in the world, she has had to fight through qualifying and then survive a three-set battle against Renata Zarazua of Mexico, recovering from a set down to book her spot in round two, by far the deepest she has ever gone at a Grand Slam.
