NEW YORK, United States: The US Open 2025 witnessed a day of thrilling upsets and powerful performances as defending champion Jannik Sinner marched into the semi-finals with a commanding display, while American star Amanda Anisimova shocked world number two Iga Świątek to script one of the tournament’s biggest stories.
Sinner, who continues to redefine dominance on hard courts, overwhelmed compatriot Lorenzo Musetti with a straight-sets victory 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. The win not only sealed his place in the last four but also extended his hard-court winning streak to 26 matches, equaling legends like Djokovic and Lendl in the Open Era. His ruthless form has left fans and analysts convinced that he is on track to defend his crown at Flushing Meadows.
In the women’s draw, Amanda Anisimova delivered a spectacular performance, defeating Świątek 6-4, 6-3. The result is especially significant, as it comes just weeks after Świątek humiliated Anisimova with a crushing 6-0, 6-0 defeat in the Wimbledon final. This victory not only avenges that loss but also propels Anisimova into her first-ever US Open semi-final, making her the first American woman since the Williams sisters to reach Grand Slam semi-finals on all three surfaces.
The stage is now set for high-voltage semi-final encounters. Sinner will take on Felix Auger-Aliassime in what promises to be a tactical battle of firepower versus finesse. Meanwhile, Anisimova is preparing to face either Naomi Osaka or Karolina Muchova, raising the prospect of an all-American showdown under the bright New York lights.
With Sinner’s relentless march and Anisimova’s emotional redemption, the US Open has become a theater of both dominance and resilience, keeping tennis fans on the edge of their seats.
