Preview: Aryna Sabalenka vs Camila Osorio prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head: US Open 2026

Sabalenka is looking to complete a rare three-peat in New York

Two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka will begin her campaign early on the second day of the US Open 2026. She will be under massive pressure for the next two weeks, with what’s at stake for her.

The Belarusian’s World No. 1 ranking could disappear if she fails to lift the crown. Moreover, her recent form has been uncharacteristic, and the Belarusian is yet to win a Major title this year.

Sabalenka has not won a tournament since Miami, highlighting her poor patch. Hoping to turn things around at a Slam where she has traditionally enjoyed a lot of success, the 28-year-old will hope to silence her critics on the biggest stage once again.

Barbora Krejcikova’s opening-round exit has opened up her draw. But first, she must beat World No. 61 Camila Osorio in the first-round match.

Preview

Camila Osorio enters New York on the back of a three-match losing streak. Her build-up to the US Open has not been ideal, with her best recent performance coming at Roland Garros, when she reached the third round.

The Colombian has had an inconsistent season so far, and taking on a player who has won four Grand Slams will be an incredibly tough challenge for her.

Sabalenka’s recent form might not be impressive, but the Belarusian looked good in her US Open mixed doubles match alongside Novak Djokovic. She will aim to find her rhythm quickly, and assert her dominance over the rest of the WTA field.

These two players have met before, with Sabalenka leading the head-to-head by 2-0. Their most recent meeting took place in Madrid 2023, but this US Open contest will be their first exchange on a hard court.

Match prediction

Sabalenka is expected to register a comfortable win as she looks to get her campaign underway in Flushing Meadows. Osorio will find it tough to respond to the Belarusian’s aggression and ruthlessness in baseline exchanges.

There is a significant gulf in quality between the two players, as their head-to-head record shows, with Osorio failing to win a single set across both their matches.

Result: Aryna Sabalenka to win in straight sets.
