**Flushing Meadows, NY** – Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one and defending US Open champion, will face Amanda Anisimova in the women’s final on Saturday in a highly anticipated match between two players who have battled adversity and tasted both triumph and heartbreak this season.

Both players have displayed powerful ball-striking and emotional tendencies throughout the year. Sabalenka seeks to conquer her Grand Slam final demons, having suffered defeats in the Australian and French Open finals this year. Anisimova, on the other hand, is looking to rebound from a devastating loss to Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final.

Sabalenka’s powerful game is often accompanied by visible displays of emotion. She admitted to letting her emotions get the best of her. She expressed regret for her behavior after the French Open final.

Anisimova’s journey to the final has been marked by resilience. She has beaten two Grand Slam champions in the process. A seven-month break from tennis has helped her find a new mental strength and belief in her abilities.

The match promises to be a thrilling contest between two players with contrasting yet equally compelling narratives. Sabalenka aims to solidify her dominance in the women’s game, while Anisimova seeks to cement her place among the elite. The US Open women’s final is estimated to start at 21:00 BST and will be broadcast with live radio commentary across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds. Live text commentaries will also be available on the BBC Sport website and app.
