Amanda Anisimova achieved a stunning US Open quarterfinal victory over world No. 2 Iga Swiatek, winning in straight sets (6-4, 6-3). This win is particularly significant as Anisimova had previously lost to Swiatek 6-0, 6-0 in the Wimbledon final just two months prior. Anisimova's powerful play and impressive recovery from her Wimbledon defeat marked her third major semifinal appearance and first at the US Open. She will now face either Naomi Osaka or Karolina Muchova in the semifinals. This win also makes Anisimova the first American woman to defeat top-2 WTA players in consecutive majors since Serena Williams in 2012.
