Anisimova vs. Osaka: Epic Duel in US Open Semifinals<\/h2>\n\nAmanda Anisimova staged a spectacular comeback in the US Open semi-finals, overcoming Naomi Osaka in an exciting match that kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Anisimova, after losing the first set, demonstrated admirable tenacity to secure her place in the final, where she will seek her first Grand Slam title.\n\nThe eighth seed, Anisimova, managed to win with scores of 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3) and 6-3, in a match that ended near 1 a.m. on Friday. In the final, she will face Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one.\n\n\n

I wasn’t sure I could make it to the end and I tried to give my best. It was a great battle today.<\/p>Amanda Anisimova<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFor her part, Sabalenka defeated Jessica Pegula in the other semifinal, with a score of 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Sabalenka seeks to become the first woman to win consecutive titles at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams.\n\nAnisimova’s elimination of Osaka came in a hard-fought match.\n\nIn Wimbledon, Anisimova was the runner-up against Iga Swiatek. Now, the 24-year-old American tennis player, born in New Jersey and raised in Florida, has a new opportunity to win her first Grand Slam trophy.\n\nAccording to the bets, Sabalenka is the favorite for the final, but Anisimova arrives with great motivation. Sabalenka has had great support in the tournament.\n\nThis is the first time Osaka has lost in such an advanced stage of a Grand Slam tournament.\n\n\n

Honestly, I don’t feel sad. It’s really strange. Well, it’s not strange, because I feel like I did the best I could. It inspires me, because it makes me want to train and try to improve, and hopefully, I’ll give my best again and see what happens. But I think I can’t be angry or upset with myself.<\/p>Naomi Osaka<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe first semifinal on Thursday was very close, similar to Sabalenka’s victory over Pegula a year ago. Since then, Sabalenka was runner-up at the Australian Open and the French Open.\n\nSabalenka managed to stay calm in crucial moments, converting her third match point to overcome Pegula.\n\n\n

I was super excited. I was like, ‘Oh my God, it can’t be. Please close this match’.<\/p>Aryna Sabalenka<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe retractable roof of Arthur Ashe Stadium was closed before the semifinals, protecting the players from the wind and rain.\n\nPegula played very cleanly in the first and third sets, but in the second she made several unforced errors. Sabalenka accumulated twice as many winners as Pegula.\n\n\n

We were putting pressure on each other<\/p>Jessica Pegula<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSabalenka managed to save the four break points she faced in the final set.\n\n\n

Just praying inside and hoping for the best.<\/p>Aryna Sabalenka<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSabalenka had not lost a set in the tournament before Thursday, but she had to face five matches to reach the semifinals.\n\nSabalenka stated that “she will go out on Saturday and fight for every point as if it were the last of her life.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
