Elena Rybakina beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-4 5-7 6-2 in the US Open women's singles final on 12 September 2026, three sets in 2 hours 21 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium (wtatennis.com match page LS73992564 and WTA report, 12 September 2026; cbssports.com, 12 September 2026); usopen.org scores page did not load at resolution.
The scoreline market resolves on the official result of the women's singles final on usopen.org, published at the end of the match on Saturday 12 September. It resolves YES only if three sets are completed, so a straight-sets win either way or a retirement before the third set resolves NO; if that source has not published in time, the WTA match record and BBC Sport settle it.
Since January 2019 the women's No 1 has changed eight times. For each change we checked whether the new No 1 was still top in the rankings published four weeks later. Here are all eight, newest first.
