Taylor Townsend faces a stern test against World No. 1 and defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in the 2026 US Open Round of 16 today at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Townsend has lost her last five matches against the top-14 opponents, while Sabalenka has yet to drop a set at the event, hence our prediction backing Aryna Sabalenka.
Aryna Sabalenka heads into this contest on the back of three consecutive straight-set victories at the event, including a 6–3, 6–4 win over Uzbekistani star Kamilla Rakhimova in the third round on Friday.
Notably, Friday's victory saw the 28-year-old Minsk-born sensation win five of her last six matches in straight sets. She has posted a terrific 30–3 record on hard courts this year. Can she build on that to come out on top?
Taylor Townsend won her opening two matches at the event in straight sets but was stretched to the brink in the third round by 16th-ranked Diana Shnaider before prevailing 6–2, 6–7(3–7), 6–3.
Townsend exited this event at this same round last year after losing in three sets to Barbora Krejčíková. This will be her first encounter with Aryna Sabalenka and it promises to be a difficult one. She has lost each of her last five matches against players ranked in the top 14.
