In 2019 Aryna Sabalenka and Elise Mertens won the double title together in New York City, and at the beginning of the year the Belarusian-Belgian combination also struck at the Australian Open. Most recently, the two were on the same side of the net on a tournament site in Montreál, for the US Open Sabalenka has concentrated on the individual. Mertens, on the other hand, plays with Su-Wei Hsieh, and that in first place. In doubles everything is still possible for Mertens, in singles only Aryna Sabalenka has the chance of the big title at the US Open. Because the number two of the last major of the year was merciless in the meeting with her favorite partner, especially in the second sentence. Sabalenka reached the quarter-finals with a 6: 4 and 6: 1.
There she meets either the current French Open winner Barbora Krejcikova or the one from 2016, Garbine Muguruza.

Elina Svitolina and Leylah Fernandez contest the second quarter-finals in the lower half of the tableau. While Svitolina's victory against Simona Halep came as a surprise in its clarity, Fernandez's next coup was just as unlikely as the one two days earlier against Naomi Osaka.
Fernandez was also behind with set and break against Angelique Kerber, like against defending champion Osaka, the Canadian pulled her head out of the loop one day before her 19th birthday. Fernandez is still an outsider in the race against Svitolina.
