Redemption on Ashe: Anisimova Topples Świątek to Reach U.S. Open Semifinal

Amanda Anisimova delivered one of the biggest shocks of the U.S. Open on Wednesday night. The 23-year-old American defeated world No. 2 Iga Świątek 6-4, 6-3 to book her first-ever semifinal spot at Flushing Meadows.

Her victory, completed in just over an hour and a half on Arthur Ashe Stadium, was built on composure and controlled aggression.

Anisimova struck 23 winners compared to Świątek’s 13, and broke the Polish star’s serve four times across two sets.

The result carried extra weight considering their last Grand Slam meeting. At Wimbledon in July, Świątek had humiliated Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the final—one of the most lopsided title matches in recent memory. This time, Anisimova reversed the script with confidence and precision.

“This is the most meaningful victory of my life,” Anisimova said after the match. “Playing here is so special. Today proved everything for me, I can do it.”

She explained that her preparation was as much mental as physical. She even rewatched the painful Wimbledon defeat, not to avoid it, but to learn from it.

Świątek Left Searching for Answers

Świątek, who entered the match as a heavy favorite, admitted she could not match the American’s intensity. “I couldn’t win today’s match playing like that… with Amanda being so aggressive on the returns,” she confessed.

Despite the disappointment, she insisted she remained proud of her summer achievements.

Anisimova’s reward is a semifinal clash against Naomi Osaka. The Japanese star, seeded 23rd, advanced earlier in the day by defeating Karolina Muchova. Their meeting promises a compelling contest between two players eager to reclaim their place among tennis’ elite.

Could this breakthrough mark the beginning of Amanda Anisimova’s rise to the very top of women’s tennis?
