Gil GrossHOST
Always felt this way about the, the Khachanov-Zverev head-to-head, and they have had some, some good battles, and Zverev now leads the head-to-head 7-3.
Gil GrossHOST
Khachanov was able to make the Canada final by beating Zverev in a third set tie break a couple years ago, and then it ended up being Khachanov versus Shelton in the final of Canada, Ben winning his first of what is now two titles at the National Bank Open.
Gil GrossHOST
Uh, so Khachanov's had some success, but overall, similar play styles, tall guys, big servers.
Gil GrossHOST
They favor their backhands off the ground.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Elena Rybakina advanced to her second Grand Slam final of the season after rallying from a set down in front of a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium to defeat former champion Coco Gauff three-six, six-four, six-four.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
It was her second comeback win over Gauff in less than a month, having also prevailed in Toronto.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Rybakina had rarely succeeded at the US Open relative to her standards and had never reached its second week until last year, when she settled for a fourth-round finish.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
This fortnight, she set aside her past in New York after removing the likes of Naomi Osaka and Qinwen Zheng.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Rybakina has been equally impressive on hard courts as Sabalenka.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
In addition to winning her second Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, she went on to reach the finals in Indian Wells and Toronto.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Following this fortnight's performance, she is now set to become the new world number one.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Head to head: Sabalenka leads ten-seven.
Greg RusedskiHOST
It's one apiece, and their closest match was in Canada, which was six in the third a few years ago.
Greg RusedskiHOST
And they've-- both times they've met, it has been in the Canadian Open.
Greg RusedskiHOST
So I feel like Zverev in four sets.
Greg RusedskiHOST
I find Shelton-Tiafoe's gonna be the one that could go four or five sets.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
To his credit, Shelton has also had the perfect preparation for a potential breakthrough.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Among the players remaining, he is the only one to have won a warm-up title, successfully defending his Canadian Open title in Montreal without dropping a set.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Shelton leads 3-1.
Finley CrebolderNARRATOR
Despite being the less experienced of the two, Shelton has taken control of the rivalry relatively quickly.
Peter VrionisHOST
But it
Joey EliasHOST
was perfect because that's when the Rogers Cup was going on.
Joey EliasHOST
And then it just led right into, you know, the U.S. Open.
Joey EliasHOST
So it's been a lot of fun.
Matthew RobertsHOST
We've definitely got time for that.
Matthew RobertsHOST

Megyn KellyHOST
Um, then the following June, she skipped out on Wimbledon.
Megyn KellyHOST
Okay, but let's flash for- flash-forward to last August of 2025, where she was at the National Bank Open in Montreal.

She was fighting against a gal from Canada, uh, Victoria Mboko, and Victoria beat her.
Megyn KellyHOST
It was an upset, and it was surprising.
