Resilient Amanda sets up 'dream' final

Birmingham Mail

|

September 06, 2025

AMANDA Anisimova ended Naomi Osaka’s US Open resurgence in a late-night battle to reach a second successive grand slam final.

- By ELEANOR CROOKS

Osaka had been chasing a first major title since the Australian Open in 2021, but she faded in the third set of a 6-7 (4) 7-6 (3) 6-3 defeat, suffering her first-ever loss beyond the fourth round of a grand slam.

Instead it is Anisimova whose story of resilience has carried her all the way to the showpiece in New York, where she will take on world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
