US Open Women's Final: An Epic Clash Awaits!
The stage is set for a thrilling showdown in the US Open women’s final! America’s own Amanda Anisimova is ready to face defending champion Aryna Sabalenka this Saturday, after both players delivered electrifying performances in their semifinals.
In nail-biting matches that went the distance, Anisimova rallied from a set down to overcome Naomi Osaka, while Sabalenka fought back against Jessica Pegula. This marks a historic moment as it's the first time in five years that both women's semifinals at the US Open have gone to three sets!
Anisimova's Midnight Miracle!
In a heart-stopping match that stretched nearly until 1 a.m. ET, Amanda Anisimova staged an incredible comeback to topple Osaka with a score of 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3. This victory snuffed out Osaka’s remarkable run—her best performance in four years.
The first set saw Anisimova pull off a dramatic three-game comeback to gain a 6-5 lead, but Osaka’s experience shone through as she claimed the tiebreak. The second set mirrored the tension, with Anisimova finally seizing control in the second tiebreak to keep her hopes alive.
Frustration bubbled under the surface for both players, but Anisimova showcased her grit in the decisive third set, dominating Osaka and sealing the deal for a shot at her first Grand Slam title!
Sabalenka's Power Play!
In the earlier semifinal, Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s top player, triumphed over No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula with scores of 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. This victory marked their second consecutive meeting at this stage, and Sabalenka’s relentless power ultimately made the difference.
Although Pegula struck first, snatching the first set after rallying from a 4-2 deficit, Sabalenka quickly responded, mixing her lethal serves with deft net play to take control.
With fierce determination, Sabalenka took command in the third set, never relinquishing her lead. A defiant clap of her racket to the crowd was followed by a decisive forehand past Pegula, leading to a primal scream of victory!
