Sinner, Swiatek Advance US Open Amid Osaka-Gauff Showdown

At the 2025 US Open, top players Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek demonstrated resilience to advance despite challenging matches. Swiatek, the Wimbledon champion, overcame a daunting 5-1 deficit in the first set against Anna Kalinskaya to win 7-6(2), 6-4 in a scrappy match marked by numerous breaks and unforced errors, marking her 20th major win of the season and equaling Aryna Sabalenka's record. Sinner also showed grit after losing the first set to Denis Shapovalov, rallying to win in four sets and extending his unbeaten hardcourt Grand Slam streak to 24 matches. Both players credited their ability to problem-solve and maintain composure under pressure as key to their victories. Meanwhile, anticipation mounts for a high-profile fourth-round match between Naomi Osaka and defending champion Coco Gauff, who recently overcame emotional difficulties to secure her previous match win. Other notable upsets included Alexander Zverev's loss to Felix Auger-Aliassime and Beatriz Haddad Maia's strong performance setting up a clash with Amanda Anisimova.
