2025 U.S. Open: How to watch Aryna Sabalenka vs. Jessica Pegula in the tennis tournament tonight

American tennis player Jessica Pegula has yet to win a major Grand Slam, but 2025 may just be her year. In order to get to the final, though, she'll have to make it past tonight's semifinal, where she'll face world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who has proven to be fierce competition for Pegula at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in the past. The two women faced each other in last year's U.S. Open final, with Sabalenka emerging victorious in two close sets.

The Sabalenka vs. Pegula match will air on cable on ESPN and will also stream on the ESPN App with ESPN unlimited at 7 p.m. ET tonight from Arthur Ashe Stadium.
