Sabalenka vs. Rybakina odds (via DraftKings)
- Money line: Aryna Sabalenka (-145) vs. Elena Rybakina (+119)
- Game spread: Sabalenka -1.5
- Total games: 22.5 (Over -140, Under -105)
This will be the fourth meeting between these two tennis stars in 2026, with Sabalenka holding the 2-1 edge across the previous three matches. However, Rybakina has the Grand Slam win at the 2026 Australian Open, taking down Sabalenka 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Sabalenka returned the favor at the Indian Wells final in a match that went to a tiebreaker on the third set, which the two-time US Open champion won 8-6. Sabalenka also won in straight sets at the Miami Open in the semifinal round.
Sabalenka has cruised through most of this tournament. She needed a third set in the quarterfinal round to get past Linda Noskova, but she has prevailed in straight sets in every other match. Rybakina advanced in straight sets through the first four rounds but needed comebacks in the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds to reach Saturday's title match. She defeated Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals before upending Coco Gauff 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinal.
Oddsmakers are expecting this match to be close, but are still giving Sabalenka the edge despite Rybakina's rise to being the No. 1-ranked woman. Of the previous 17 matches between these two, 11 have gone to a third set which suggests there will be more than 22.5 games played. Though Sabalenka has the edge, Rybakina has the better record in finals and did just top Sabalenka at the Australian Open final. Will the pressure of a three-peat get to Sabalenka? Serena Williams was the last woman to win three US Open titles in a row, and that was from 2012-14.
