On the other hand, Sabalenka reached the semi-finals without losing a set. Zavenska, Baraj, Bure, Kasatkina, Zeng won 2-0 in consecutive sets.
In the semifinals she fought hard against Madison Keys, losing the first set 0-6 but winning the next two in tiebreaks.

Of the five meets, four took place on hard surfaces, with the two gymnasts each claiming two wins, while Goff won in her only clay court bout.
Their last match was in Indian Wells last March, with Sabalenka winning 2-0 sets (6-4, 6-0).
The financial data of the final and the placements in the world rankings
Of course, there are two more things at stake in the final. The first question is which of the two athletes will leave the USA richer 2,760,372 euros.
This is the prize money for the US Open winner. The loser will not complain but will top up her bank account 1,380,186 euros.
Regardless of what happens in the final, Arina Sabalenka will be ranked No. 1 in the world next Monday. On the contrary, the outcome of the final will determine Coco Goff’s position.
If the 19-year-old American wins the title, she will climb to third place for the first time in her career, and if she loses she will climb to fifth place.
