American wins 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3 win to book Aryna Sabalenka finalVictory puts Anisimova into her first title decider at Flushing MeadowsMore than an hour into her first appearance in the semi-finals of the US Open, Amanda Anisimova still could not find the court. Under suffocating pressure on one of the most significant occasions of her career, unforced errors sprayed indiscriminately from her racket and she unloaded her considerable frustration on her support team.After all that she has been through on and off the court, however, Anisimova did not reach this stage just to fall apart. From her desperate start, Anisimova gave an exhibition of her growing mental toughness as she emerged from a bruising, tension-filled battle around 1am with a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3 win over Naomi Osaka after two hours, 56 minutes to reach the final of the US Open for the first time in her career.

American into last four after 6-3, 6-3 win over world No 62Pegula to face either Sabalenka or VondrousovaJessica Pegula continues to redraw the limits of her career in New York. The 31-year-old American swept into the last four of the US Open on Tuesday with a 6-3, 6-3 dismissal of Barbora Krejcikova, becoming the first woman to reach back-to-back semi-finals here without dropping a set since Serena Williams strung together four straight runs between 2011 and 2014.It was a performance of cool authority, built less on fireworks than on persistence and precision. Pegula needed only 86 minutes to subdue her opponent, whose serve collapsed under pressure with seven double faults and a first-serve percentage barely above 40%.

Coco Gauff is once again the home favourite while this is Aryna Sabalenka’s last chance to win a grand slam this yearAryna Sabalenka Is 2025 just not the world No 1’s year? Finishing as runner-up in Melbourne and Paris and falling in the semi-finals at Wimbledon, Sabalenka has failed to get over the line at slams this season despite being a constant favourite. But with her powerful game and a devastating serve – especially on hard courts – she has the tools to make a deep run as the defending champion in New York. The Belarusian has racked up a total of 52 weeks as the world No 1, surpassing her compatriot Victoria Azarenka’s 51 for the 13th-most weeks atop the WTA rankings since they began in 1975. Perhaps, like Roger Federer in 2008, the 27-year-old can triumph in the final slam of the year after making two finals and a semi. Continue reading...
