As the US Open approaches its final stages, tonight’s semi-final showdown promises excitement with a Grand Slam champion against American players eager for their first major title.
First up, defending US Open champion Aryna Sabalenka will go head-to-head with Jessica Pegula. This match marks a rematch of last year’s final. Sabalenka advanced automatically to the semi-finals after her opponent, Marketa Vondrousova, withdrew due to injury.
Next, Naomi Osaka will continue her journey in the tournament, facing Amanda Anisimova in her first Grand Slam semi-final since 2021. Anisimova secured her spot by defeating Iga Swiatek in the quarter-finals, a notable win considering they last met in the Wimbledon final, where Swiatek emerged victorious.
The winners of both matches will compete for the US Open title on Saturday, September 6th.
