Schedule, prediction and prize money for the final of the US Open 2024 in women’s tennis | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

On Saturday, Jessica Pegula will compete in the final of the 2024 US Open after an unlikely comeback win over Karolina Muchova in the semifinals.

The 30-year-old American will face second seed Aryna Sabalenka in a rematch of the 2024 Cincinnati Open final, which Sabalenka won in straight sets.

Here you can find out everything you need to know about tomorrow’s final.

Location: Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, New York

Streaming: ESPN+ and ESPN Sports

Prize money: 3,600,000 USD (winner), 1,800,000 USD (runner-up)

For the fourth time in a row, Sabalenka will participate in a Grand Slam final on hard court.

Since her loss to Amanda Anisimova on August 10, the Belarusian has played flawlessly, winning eleven games in a row and dropping only one set.

Sabalenka has more momentum and form compared to Pegula, but in the second match in a row the crowd will be against her.

The two meet for the eighth time and Sabalenka constantly controls the direct comparison (Sabalenka leads 5:2).

On the hard court, however, they shared the four matches they played.

Saturday’s final will likely come down to serve, especially for Pegula, who won only 13 of 29 points on her second serve in the last game.

Sabalenka has always shown that she can dominate her opponent’s second serve. In her quarterfinal and semifinal matches, she won 67 percent of the points on her opponent’s second serve.

With the crowd on her side, Pegula can keep up, but she has to do her best.

In the end, Sabalenka’s strength and physicality might be too much for Pegula.

Forecast: Sabalenka in two sets
