Belarusian world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka and American Jessica Pegula are the top seeds in the women’s singles draw for the 2026 US Open.
The United States Tennis Association released the women’s singles draw for the 2026 US Open, confirming Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula as the tournament’s top two seeds. Sabalenka, the world No.1 from Belarus, and Pegula, the American ranked second, will open the competition on the hard courts of Flushing Meadows.
Both players have enjoyed strong seasons on the WTA Tour, and their seeding reflects consistent performances across Grand Slam events. Their placement at the top of the draw means they will not meet until the final, provided they navigate the early rounds successfully.
The US Open, scheduled to begin in late August, will feature a full complement of 128 players in the women’s singles field. Organisers expect high attendance and global viewership as the tournament approaches its 106th edition.
