Overview

• Amanda Anisimova beat Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 at the US Open, ending the world No. 2’s nine-match winning streak.
• She will face Naomi Osaka next after the two-time US Open champion defeated Karolina Muchova 6-4, 7-6 (3) to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal as a mother.
• Anisimova said she rewatched the Wimbledon final “as painful as it was” to identify adjustments, joking she had been “slow as hell” that day.
• Swiatek cited limited practice, a heavy schedule, and managing a foot issue as factors, while crediting Anisimova for playing and moving far better than in July.
• A press-room exchange turned testy when journalist David Law asked Swiatek if she needed a mental break, drawing her retort, “Why would you say that?” and “You look like you need a mental break.”
