She plays Sabalenka after final loss a year back; Osaka grateful to be in semifinals
-
NEW YORK - Revenge will be at the forefront of Jessica Pegula's mind when she takes on Aryna Sabalenka in the US Open semifinals on Sept 4 (Sept 5, Singapore time) in a rematch of the 2024 final, while Naomi Osaka faces Amanda Anisimova for a place in the title decider.
World No. 1 Sabalenka advanced via walkover after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew injured and is aiming to reach her sixth-straight hard-court Grand Slam final.
The Belarusian has made the semifinals at all four Majors this season but has yet to win a title, losing in the Melbourne Park and French Open finals, and to Anisimova in the Wimbledon last four.
Pegula arrives in peak form. Her 6-3, 6-3 win over Barbora Krejcikova made her the first American woman since Serena Williams (2011-14) to reach back-to-back US Open semifinals without dropping a set.
The Buffalo native has not faced a top-50 opponent in the tournament so far but now gets the sternest test possible against Sabalenka, who denied her a first Grand Slam title at Flushing Meadows in 2024.
