US Open 2026: The caravan of the US Open 2026 will enter its sixth day as a host of big-ticket women’s Tennis players will carry their intensity into a brand-new round. As far as singles’ competitions go, the likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Marta Kostyuk will be in action. The legendary duo or the sibling pair of Serena and Venus Williams will also be firmly under focus as they team up in the doubles category.
Sabalenka, the World No.1 and the defending champion, defeated Colombia’s Camila Osorio in the first round easily in straight sets and just as easily dispatched Russia’s Polina Iatcenko in the second to progress to the third. She will lock horns against Uzbekistan’s Kamilla Rakhimova in the third round at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. Rakhimova also had an excellent first two rounds, defeating both her opponents in straight sets and could well take the Belarusian Tennis star to her limits.
Ukranian Tennis star Marta Kostyuk has had a meteoric rise of late, headlined by reaching back-to-back Grand Slam singles semi-finals in Roland Garros and Wimbledon earlier this year. The French Open this year saw her became the first woman from Ukraine in an open era to get to the semi-finals. She defeated Sloane Stephens in her first round match and followed it up with beating Storm Hunter in the second – both in the first two sets. She will face Ekaterina Alexandrova in her third round game at the Grandstand. Alexandrova had a slightly stiff game in the first round against Kimberly Birrell but defeated McCartney Kessler in her second round fixture by straight sets. The match between Kotyuk and Alexandrova could well be a tight one.
Lastly, Serena and Venus Williams will face Maya Joint and Chan Hao-ching in their first-round doubles game at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The star duo have collectively lifted 14 Grand Slam doubles title that includes four in Australian Open and six in Wimbledon, with two each in US Open and Roland Garros. Hence, they will start their quest for a third this year.
