Amanda Anisimova stunned Iga Swiatek to earn revenge for her 6-0 6-0 defeat in the Wimbledon final and book a spot in the US Open semi-finals.
Just 53 days after the American’s trashing to Swiatek on Centre Court, Anisimova got her own back in front of her own fans in New York. The eighth seed recovered from losing her serve in the opening game, and appeared to grow in confidence after winning her first game of the match.
Anisimova won match point on a dead net-cord that only just landed on Swiatek’s side. After a 6-4 6-3 win against the second seed, Anisimova will face either Naomi Osaka or Karolina Muchova for a place in her first US Open final.
Novak Djokovic delivered more US Open drama to retain his dominant streak over Taylor Fritz with the 38-year-old setting up a mouthwatering match with Carlos Alcaraz on Friday.
On the other half of the men’s draw, Felix Auger-Aliassime outlasted Alex De Minaur in a nervy four-hour battle to return to the US Open semi-finals. The Canadian will face either world No 1 Jannik Sinner or Lorenzo Musetti, who meet in the late action.

Amanda Anisimova says she hopes the way she bounced back from the Wimbledon final defeat sends a positive message on her to respond to difficult moments.
“I feel like I was really able to bounce back from it really quickly,” she said. “Maybe a few years ago I wouldn't have done the same as well as I have this time but it's definitely nothing I've ever experienced before. I never lost 6-0, 6-0, and then to lose 6-0 6-0 in a Grand Slam final was a lot to experience.
“Today I'm just really, really proud of myself. I feel like I really made a point to myself and also maybe to other people that, like, if you really put a positive mindset out there or just try and work through things, then you can have a positive outcome. I feel like I was really able to do all the right things, so I'm really happy.”

In her press conference, Amanda Anisimova reveals she watched the Wimbledon final and her 6-0 6-0 defeat to Iga Swiatek last night, before facing her against in the US Open quarter-finals.
“Last night, nobody told me to, but I watched them back, as painful as it was. Just to see, what I can avoid or what went wrong. Then after I had to watch some good highlights to remove that from my brain.
“I think it was important for me to kind of see what happened last night going into today's match. Back then it was just kind of, like, move on. It's just kind of a freak thing that happened.
“I have family and friends. I still have the hard court swing to go. So it was kind of, just move on to the next.”

On what went wrong: “I think the serve what made the difference. She was winning, I guess, more points from her serve, and I struggled a bit to sometimes make the first serve in, and she returned the ball from second serve. So I guess that made a difference.”
On facing Anisimova after the 6-0 6-0 at Wimbledon: “It didn't really matter for me. I think everybody knows how Amanda can play. She didn't play well in Wimbledon, but it's not like she's always going to do the same mistakes or feel the same.
“I know that she's a good player. She can play great tennis. So I was ready for a tough match.”

Shortly after giving birth to her daughter Shai in July 2023, Naomi Osaka returned to the US Open.
Her comeback to the Arthur Ashe Stadium, and a court where she had lifted two of her four grand slam singles titles, was to sit in the stands and watch Coco Gauff play Karolina Muchova in the semi-finals. As Gauff advanced on her way to winning the US Open, Osaka set herself a target: she was determined to reach that stage again.

“I think every athlete has kind of the same vision and mentality, but obviously because of the score at Wimbledon, everybody started asking this question. When you don't play sports, you don't get it, but if you do, then you know that you're not going to give anything for free.”

A few moments after his latest defeat to Novak Djokovic, Taylor Fritz faced up to the statistics, even though he knew they would not make for pretty reading. The American had just lost to Djokovic for the 11th time in their 11th meeting and the fact it was his closest yet was no consolation.
Not after exiting the US Open at the quarter-final stage, continuing the drought for American men in the men’s singles, or after double-faulting on the third match point and handing Djokovic an escape from an even later night.
There was something else that would haunt Fritz more, and those were the chances he had to take charge of the quarter-final when Djokovic was vulnerable.
