World no. 6 in women's tennis Coco Gauff will play against second seed Aryna Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open final.

On Thursday, the women's semifinals were held at New York's Arthur Ashe Stadium as 19-year-old Gauff from the US beat her Czech opponent Karolina Muchova with straight sets of 6-4, 7-5 to qualify for her first US Open final.

Sabalenka also bested against Madison Keys in a thrilling three-set semifinal, coming back against the US player.

Keys dominated the first set 6-0, but Sabalenka, who won the Australian Open title earlier this year, bagged her ticket to the US Open final after winning the rest of the two sets by 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (10-5).

The women's singles final are set to be held on Saturday, one day before the men's. (Anadolu Agency)
