US Open QFs - Anisimova’s Wimbledon revenge, Djokovic makes history, Alcaraz cruises

It’s been an action-packed set of quarterfinals in New York City, with the semifinal line-ups (nearly) now confirmed. In a Wimbledon final repeat, Amanda Anisimova was able to exact revenge on Iga Swiatek (and that double bagel defeat) to make her first US Open semifinal, whilst Felix Auger-Aliassime extended his sparkling run by outlasting Alex De Minaur — who once again fell short of his maiden Grand Slam semifinal. Will he ever get there?

We also dive into Novak Djokovic’s gritty, guns-out win over Taylor Fritz and ask whether the Serbian can finally make another major final and build on his Australian Open victory against Carlos Alcaraz as the Spaniard marched into the semis without dropping a set, looking as ruthless as ever. Jessica Pegula also brought Barbora Krejcikova back down to earth after her dramatic win over Taylor Townsend, booking a semifinal showdown with World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, who advanced via walkover following Marketa Vondrousova’s withdrawal. Can Pegula keep up the curse of Americans and stop Sabalenka from reaching yet another Grand Slam final?
