It has been another thrilling fortnight at Flushing Meadows, with no shortage of drama and upsets littered throughout the year’s fourth and last tennis Grand Slam event.
Reigning world No1 Sabalenka is looking to claim her fourth major title and second in succession at the US Open, having fought back from a set down to topple Jessica Pegula in the semi-finals to follow a walkover against the injured Marketa Vondrousova and earlier victories over Cristina Bucsa, Leylah Fernandez, Polina Kudermetova and Rebeka Masarova.
She will contest her third final in a row in New York, searching for her maiden Slam success of 2025 after final defeats at both the Australian Open and French Open and a shock last-four exit at Wimbledon, where she was bested by Anisimova in a third-set decider having beaten her in the last 16 at Roland Garros.
Anisimova has also overcome Beatriz Haddad Maia, Jaqueline Cristian, Maya Joint and Kimberly Birrell to position herself for another chance at securing that maiden Slam title.
