Iga Swiatek has been the best player of the season by a mile. She started the season by making it to the semifinal of the Australian Open and ever since then, there is no looking back for her. She was on a 37-match winning streak where she won 6 titles including the Qatar Open, Indian Wells Open, Miami Open, Stuttgart Open and the French Open. She then had a poor couple of months but bounced back strongly this fortnight in NYC. In the first few rounds of the US Open, she defeated Jasmine Paolini, Sloane Stephens, and Lauren Davis and then defeated German Jule Niemeier in the Round of 16. In the last 8, she got the better of 8th seed Jessica Pegula in straight sets 6-3,7-6(4).

Aryna Sabalenka had a decent start to the season but has terribly underperformed given her high standards. She started the season by reaching the Round of 16 of the Australian Open and then started the clay season by reaching the Stuttgart Open final where she lost to Swiatek. She then reached the semifinal of the Italian Open and on grass, made it to the final at S-Hertogenbosch. In the North-American swing, she reached the semifinal of the Cincinnati. This fortnight in New York, she has beaten the likes of Catherine Harrison, Kaia Kanepi, Clara Burel, and Danielle Collins in the initial rounds before thrashing Karolina Pliskova in the quarterfinal in straight sets 6-1,7-6(4).

This will be the 5th meeting between the duo. Swiatek leads the H2H 3-1. They last met in Rome earlier this year where Swiatek won in straight sets.

Swiatek will start the favorite on paper given her record in crunch games and semifinals of a grand slam. She also has a very good record against Sabalenka and is playing very good in the tournament. Her baseline strokes from both the forehand and backhand will be crucial against the big serve of Sabalenka. The Belarussian has silently moved ahead in the tournament and has dropped just one set all week. Having said that, expect a tight match with Swiatek making it to her third major final.

Match Prediction: Swiatek to win in three sets.
