Anisimova Upsets Swiatek, Reaches US Open Semifinals

Amanda Anisimova achieved a remarkable comeback by defeating six-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 in the US Open quarterfinals, avenging her recent 6-0, 6-0 loss to Swiatek at Wimbledon. With strong support from the home crowd and an aggressive performance marked by 23 winners and just 12 unforced errors, Anisimova advanced to face two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka in the semifinals. Meanwhile, Felix Auger-Aliassime reached the semifinals by overcoming Alex de Minaur in a four-hour match, marking his second Grand Slam semi-final appearance, where he will meet either Jannik Sinner or Lorenzo Musetti. Jannik Sinner, the defending US Open champion and current World No. 1, remained dominant with a swift victory over Alexander Bublik, continuing a 25-match winning streak at hard-court Grand Slams. Novak Djokovic also advanced to set up a highly anticipated semifinal clash with Carlos Alcaraz. These developments showcase a mix of rising talents and established stars shaping the tournament's final stages.
