Sabalenka and an Impressive Record at the US Open.

Aryna Sabalenka secured her place in a new Grand Slam final on Thursday night, her second in 2026, which will allow her not to leave this season empty-handed. The US Open 2026 was an extremely important tournament for the Belarusian, who possesses some of the best streaks on the circuit: some of these will remain valid following the results of her semifinals against Pegula... and they are truly impressive.

There is, without a doubt, one piece of information that stands out. A statistic that places Sabalenka at the peak and demonstrates the magnitude of her achievements. After reaching the final in this US Open 2026, Aryna has become the first player in the Open Era to reach eight consecutive Grand Slam finals on hard court, surpassing the seven achieved by Steffi Graf and Martina Hingis; moreover, this fact also extends to the men's circuit, where the record is held by Novak Djokovic. 

Sabalenka joins great company with impressive records

This is one of the most powerful pieces of information from the US Open 2026, but not the only one that places the Belarusian alongside elite company. Names like Steffi's appear again: Aryna is also the fifth player to reach five Grand Slam finals as the world number one, joining Graf (achieved 20), Serena Williams (14), and Monica Seles and Martina Hingis (nine each).

These figures demonstrate the continuity of her dominance: in the first of the mentioned records, Sabalenka was able to win four of the eight finals played, leaving her effectiveness at over 50% in title matches. The next final will determine the outcome, but what Aryna can be sure of is that such statistics solidify her reign and reaffirm her as the leading face of the WTA over the past decade.
