Rybakina advanced by rallying past Gauff, a result echoed by the official US Open site, which set up a Sabalenka showdown in the final. Yahoo Sports noted that she received a congratulatory message from Kazakhstan’s president after becoming world number one, and highlighted her status as the oldest debutant at the top spot in 51 years.
Earlier reports linked Gauff’s comeback spirit to a resilience lesson she credited to teammate Frances Tiafoe. The New York Post focused on the loss, while US Open communications highlighted the forthcoming final, leaving match‑by‑match analysis thin.
