Arthur Ashe Stadium played host to back-to-back action-packed semifinal matches, serving up aces and upsets in the women's singles semifinal as American Amanda Anisimova and defending champion Aryna Sabalenka advance to the Grand Slam final.
The semifinals opened with the match between No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. No.4 Jessica Pegula.
The reigning U.S. Open champ brought the heat under the lights against Pegula, who had fallen short to Sabalenka as the 2024 runner up.
But it was Sabalenka who would end up prevailing on Thursday night, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, in a closely fought match that saw Sabalenka win only two more points than Pegula did the entire match.
The second semifinal match saw No.8 Amanda Anisimova against No.23 Naomi Osaka.
Following her upset over Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals, the 2025 Wimbledon finalist took on two-time U.S. Open champion Osaka.
Anisimova fought for 2 hours and 56 minutes to keep the American ambitions of winning the title of her home slam.
Anisimova ended up rallying back to defeat Japan's Naomi Osaka, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3, to reach her first U.S. Open final and second Grand Slam title match of the summer.
The stage is now set for a thrilling final on Saturday, Sept. 6 at Billie Jean King Tennis Center.
