Two more players join the US Open women's singles semifinals! Pegula dominates, two Grand Slam champions are eliminated, Sabalenka gets very lucky

On September 3rd Beijing time, the US Open women's singles quarterfinals heated up with a wild night, seeing two more Grand Slam champions, Krejcikova and Vondrousova, bow out. Pegula was unstoppable in her recent match, defeating Krejcikova 2-0. Meanwhile, Vondrousova withdrew due to injury, allowing Sabalenka to advance directly to the semifinals. This sets up a semifinal clash between Pegula and Sabalenka in this tournament!

Pegula faced Wimbledon Grand Slam champion Krejcikova. World No. 4 Pegula played fiercely, maintaining complete dominance throughout the match and controlling the pace aggressively. She quickly took charge, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-3, securing her place in the semifinals. This marks Pegula’s second consecutive year reaching the US Open semifinals, demonstrating her consistent and solid performance—definitely better than many but not yet at the very top!

Sabalenka went up against Vondrousova. Sabalenka has held the world No. 1 spot this season, reaching multiple finals and semifinals, showing great consistency. However, she has yet to claim a Grand Slam title this year. At this US Open, Sabalenka has been steady and made it to the quarterfinals. Her opponent Vondrousova had to withdraw due to injury, gifting Sabalenka a lucky pass into the semifinals without playing. This fortunate break adds to Sabalenka’s dominance, as she has reached the semifinals of all four Grand Slams this season, proving she truly deserves her No. 1 ranking!

After advancing to the semifinals, Sabalenka will face Pegula, once again meeting an American player. This season, Sabalenka was eliminated by American players in the first three Grand Slams, and now facing a fourth American opponent, it remains to be seen if she will suffer another defeat. Let’s wait and see!
