In the U.S. Open semi-finals, American players Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula aim for a potential all-American final, with Navarro facing Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka and Pegula up against Czech Karolina Muchova. Navarro, the 13th seed, achieved her deepest Grand Slam run by defeating defending champion Coco Gauff, while Pegula, the 6th seed, recently eliminated world No. 1 Iga Swiatek. Pegula, who has won 13 of her last 14 matches, seeks to overcome her history of losing in major quarterfinals. Muchova, returning from a wrist injury, remains undefeated in the tournament and is confident heading into her match against Pegula. Sabalenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, is favored to win, but both Navarro and Pegula are aiming to capitalize on their home crowd support. The matches are highly anticipated, showcasing the rising talents of American tennis amidst a competitive field.
