US Open women’s singles semifinals set for Thursday at Flushing Meadows

The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts the women’s singles semifinals Thursday as the 2026 US Open moves into its final weekend, Al Jazeera and tournament schedules reported. Top seed Aryna Sabalenka is chasing a third straight New York title; Coco Gauff, Elina Rybakina, and other top seeds remain in the hunt after Jannik Sinner’s earlier men’s withdrawal reshaped the men’s draw. Women’s final is Saturday; men’s final Sunday.
