Aryna Sabalenka will look to advance to her second consecutive US Open final.

US Open 2024 has shocked the tennis fraternity with plenty of upsets in the men’s singles domain, including top seeds Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz being stunned in the initial rounds. Contrary to the 2024 Wimbledon championship, the top two seeds from the women’s singles continue to remain in the hunt and with the defending champion Coco Gauff out of the race, a final between Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka looks inevitable.

Sabalenka faced a tough prospect in the quarterfinals against Paris Olympics gold medalist Qinwen Zheng. However, the Belarusian repeated her Australian Open final performance against the Chinese, giving away just three games and wiping off the match in dominating fashion. The two-time Grand Slam winner is looking in great shape and will hope to go one step further than last time.

Emma Navarro vs Aryna Sabalenka match preview

Aryna Sabalenka is standing at the doorstep of a second consecutive US Open final but is tasked to face yet another American and this time she will be against Emma Navarro. The 13th seed, who is playing her first ever Grand Slam semi-final, had earlier stunned the defending champion Coco Gauff and went on to beat Paula Badosa in the quarters.

It will be a battle of experience vs youth in New York’s premier tennis sporting facility with the crowd expected to be on Navarro’s side. While Sabalenka tried her best to get the Americans on her side for the semis, Navarro is expected to garner majority of the support from her home crowd.

It has been a breakthrough year for the 23-year-old American who exceeded expectations at the French Open and Wimbledon championship earlier this year. She not only repeated her exceptional form at the US Open but also took her achievements to new heights. The Belarusian on the other hand too, has enjoyed a merry ride so far and will hope to continue her good form.

Prediction

Second seeded Sabalenka will be taking on the 13th seed Emma Navarro in the all-important semi-final match. Undoubtedly, Aryna Sabalenka enters the contest as a firm favourite given her exceptional performances against Elise Mertens and Qinwen Zheng in her last two encounters.

However, the 23-year-old American too has been in good form, taking down the defending champion en route to enter his maiden Grand Slam semi-final. In high-pressure situations, pressure can be a massive factor in determining the outcome. With plenty of exposure to the big games, Sabalenka will certainly fancy her chances to come on top against the relatively inexperienced Emma Navarro.

Prediction: Aryna Sabalenka to win in three sets.
