US Open 2023 women's final: What time does Coco Gauff vs Aryna Sabalenka start?

Coco Gauff is through to her first US Open final, but only after her semi-final against Karolina Muchova was suspended for more than 45 minutes when a protester glued his feet to the floor in the stands.

Gauff’s 6-4, 7-5 victory was overshadowed by a small group of spectators wearing T-shirts bearing the words ‘end fossil fuels’ who began shouting, forcing play to be stopped.

Gauff will meet Aryna Sabalenka in today’s final after the Belarusian defeated 2017 US Open runner-up Madison Keys 0-6, 7-6 (1), 7-6 (10-5) in a topsy-turvy second semi that finished at nearly 1am in New York.
