Sabalenka v Osorio: US Open first-round at Arthur Ashe — broadcast and live stream details

Aryna Sabalenka faces Camila Osorio in the first round of the US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York on August 31, 2026. Sabalenka, the World No. 1, walks into Arthur Ashe Stadium chasing a third straight US Open title.

Sabalenka has not won a title since March and suffered early exits at Wimbledon, Canada and Cincinnati this year, details that have drawn attention to her form. The article notes she has often been a different competitor in Grand Slam opening rounds, while Camila Osorio, a Colombian, is described as having real fight but not the game to trouble top players. Osorio is coming off a bruising loss in Monterrey and has had barely a winning streak to her name all summer.

Sabalenka leads their head-to-head 2-0, having beaten Osorio in 2021 at Wimbledon (grass) and in 2023 at Madrid (clay). The pair have not met since 2023. This match will be their first-ever meeting on hardcourt.

The first-round face-off is set to take place on August 31 (Monday) at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York. The match is slated to begin around 9:00 pm IST. That timing is roughly 1:30 am AEST on Tuesday, September 1.
