The US Open has reached the last weekend and for the women\u2019s singles title, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka will battle it out for a first-ever title apiece at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

Gauff is in fact searching for her first grand slam title after being beaten in her only final to date, while Sabalenka has one under her belt thanks to triumphing at the Australian Open earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The pair both had plenty to contend with in their respective semi-finals earlier this week; the American saw her match halted due to a protest partway through, while Belarusian star Sabalenka had to come from a set down to beat homecrowd favourite Madison Keys. Follow the US Open women\u2019s singles final live below and see all <\/em><\/strong>the latest odds here<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

US Open women\u2019s final – latest updates<\/h3>\n

Daniil Medvedev tore up the US Open script by knocking out defending champion and world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-final.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Russian, the Flushing Meadows champion in 2021, will face Novak Djokovic \u2013 the man he beat to win his first and only grand slam so far \u2013 in Sunday\u2019s final after a shock 7-6 (3) 6-1 3-6 6-3 victory.<\/p>\n

The smart money this fortnight had been on another Djokovic-Alcaraz final, a repeat of the Wimbledon epic which the Spaniard won and another chapter in a burgeoning rivalry.<\/p>\n

But Medvedev, the world number three, had other ideas and, coming from behind a near flawless serve, looked like he was back to being the player who swept to glory two years ago.<\/p>\n

US Open women\u2019s final – latest updates<\/h3>\n

Experience put paid to youthful exuberance as Novak Djokovic ended Ben Shelton\u2019s American dream at the US Open.<\/p>\n

Djokovic, 36, halted big-serving 20-year-old Shelton\u2019s breakthrough run in the semi-finals with a 6-3 6-2 7-6 (4) victory.<\/p>\n

It was a defeat which will prolong America\u2019s wait for a first home men\u2019s champion since Andy Roddick in 2003 for at least another year.<\/p>\n

The gulf in big-occasion nous was apparent from the start, with Djokovic playing in his 100th US Open match and Shelton his seventh.<\/p>\n

Shelton was the youngest American man to reach the semi-finals since Michael Chang in 1992, Djokovic the oldest since Jimmy Connors a year earlier.<\/p>\n

US Open women\u2019s final – latest updates<\/h3>\n

When Coco Gauff lost to Sofia Kenin in the first round at Wimbledon just over two months ago, the 19-year-old admitted it was time to go back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n

Whatever she did, it worked. The American idol has won 17 of her last 18 matches since that surprise day-one defeat, picking up titles in Washington and Cincinnati, and on Saturday she will face Aryna Sabalenka in her first US Open final.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, I\u2019m very frustrated and disappointed,\u201d Gauff said in SW19. \u201cIt makes me want to work even harder.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been working hard but clearly it\u2019s not enough. I have to go back to the drawing board and see where I need to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then Gauff has linked up with American coach Brad Gilbert, tidied up her susceptible forehand and zipped through the field at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coco Gauff can\u2019t believe brilliant turnaround with US Open glory now beckoning<\/h3>\n

Gauff will face Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday\u2019s final, just over two months after making a very early exit from Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

US Open women\u2019s final – latest updates<\/h3>\n

Coco Gauff became the first American teenager since Serena Williams to reach a US Open final and the timing of her home breakthrough could not have been scripted better.<\/p>\n

Williams\u2019 diamond-encrusted and star-studded departure from tennis at Flushing Meadows last year showcased the impact she has had on the sport over 25 years.<\/p>\n

But it also left a big hole, particular for tennis in the US, where a dearth of male success over the same period has seen its profile wane.<\/p>\n

Now 12 months later, here is Gauff, taking over the baton in seamless fashion and poised to become one of the world\u2019s biggest sporting stars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Coco Gauff\u2019s breakthrough at US Open could not have been scripted better<\/h3>\n

The 19-year-old has taken over the baton from Serena Williams as America\u2019s tennis superstar.<\/p>\n

US Open women\u2019s final – latest updates<\/h3>\n

American Coco Gauff said she held no animosity toward the protesters who interrupted her U.S. Open semi-final match against Karolina Muchova on Thursday, though she did think their timing could have been a lot better.<\/p>\n

The sixth seed beat Czech Muchova 6-4 7-5 at Arthur Ashe Stadium to reach the championship match at Flushing Meadows for the first time and continue her terrific season.<\/p>\n

After winning the first set and taking the opening game of the second, the match was halted when four protesters began shouting from the stands.<\/p>\n

Three were escorted out of the venue without further incident but a fourth \u201caffixed their bare feet to the floor\u201d of the stadium, the USTA said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was done in a peaceful way, so I can\u2019t get too mad at it,\u201d Gauff said. \u201cObviously I don\u2019t want it to happen when I\u2019m winning up 6-4 1-0, and I wanted the momentum to keep going.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut hey, if that\u2019s what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard, I can\u2019t really get upset at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

What time is the US Open women\u2019s final and how can I watch it?<\/h3>\n

The end of two weeks of intense action at the US Open draws near, but first the grand prizes have to be earned and handed out – with the women\u2019s singles final coming up on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

American teenager Coco Gauff has made good on her enormous potential and impressive form by surging into her second-ever grand slam final and her first on home soil, following an appearance at the 2022 French Open final.<\/p>\n

On that occasion she was outclassed by Iga Swiatek but the No1 seed fell at the last-16 hurdle here, with Gauff knocking out the woman who beat the Pole – Jelena Ostapenko – in the very next round. After that only Karolina Muchova stood between Gauff and the final, with the American triumphing in straight sets after a delay due to a protest on the court.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka is looking to win her second grand slam of the year, having won in Australia already. The 25-year-old has a fantastic recent grand slam record, reaching the semis at Wimbledon and the French Open this year too. Daria Kasatkina, Qinwen Zheng and Madison Keys have all fallen to Sabalenka in the past week, the semi against the latter showing her resilience as she bounced back from losing the first set to love to win 2-1 after successive tiebreaker triumphs.<\/p>\n
