Sabalenka looks to march on at US Open with top ranking in the bag

Aryna Sabalenka will have a spring in her step when she meets Daria Kasatkina in the U.S. Open fourth round on Monday, with the Belarusian set to take over as world number one.

The second seed reached the semi-finals in the previous two Grand Slams after her Australian Open triumph and will now leapfrog Iga Swiatek when the latest rankings are released on Sept. 11 after the New York champion's shock exit on Sunday.

"It's an unbelievable feeling to join the amazing list of other WTA players to achieve this and it's a huge honour to be able to call myself the number one." Alcaraz takes centre stage after local favourites Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula clash in the opening match of the day on the main showcourt, while German Alexander Zverev meets Italian Jannik Sinner to bring the curtain down on the eighth day.
