Aryna Sabalenka enters the US Open round of 16 as the clear favorite against Taylor Townsend, riding a straight-sets run through the draw and a history of strong hard-court major performances as the two-time defending champion and world No. 1. The Belarusian has yet to drop a set in New York while showcasing an improved serve, though her form earlier in 2026 included some inconsistent results on other surfaces. Townsend, ranked No. 96 and a top doubles player, brings left-handed variety, net-rushing tactics, and an upset win over Diana Shnaider to create stylistic disruption. The American has reached the second week in Flushing Meadows for the third time and will benefit from strong home support on Arthur Ashe Stadium, but Sabalenka has no prior head-to-head history with her and has emphasized focus amid potential crowd noise.
