For the second time in 2026, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, who know all about each other having previously faced off on no less than 20 occasions, will meet in the final of a Grand Slam. After defeating the world number one in Australia to lift one of the most coveted prizes in the sport, the current world number two will be hoping to get the job done at Flushing Meadows, though beating Sabalenka, who is the world number one and current US Open champion, will not be easy.
Those looking to spice up what is an already spicy final between two of the best players on the planet should consider 'Over 2.5 Sets' at odds of +130. When the pair faced off in the final of the Australian Open earlier this year, they played out a thrilling three-set encounter, so it won't be a surprise if this one goes beyond the minimum number of sets.

This is between the world number one and the world number two, so it's easy to expect a tight match, and it's difficult to see either player winning easily. This is the fourth time that the pair have clashed at Grand Slams, with each of the previous three meetings containing three sets. Such a fact is hard to ignore. With both players looking in hot form ahead of this final, and with neither looking like their about to go down without a serious fight, the best option is to bet on 'Over 2.5 Sets'.
