**Flushing Meadows, NY** – The 2025 US Open Women’s Singles tournament has delivered a thrilling mix of upsets and dominant performances, culminating in two highly anticipated semifinal matchups on Thursday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. Both matches pit a seasoned Grand Slam champion against an American hopeful seeking their first major title.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will face off against fourth-seed Jessica Pegula in a rematch of last year’s final. Sabalenka, a multiple Grand Slam winner, is aiming to add another trophy to her collection, while Pegula, fueled by the home crowd, looks to finally break through on the biggest stage. Pegula has not dropped a single set in the tournament, which is a testament to her growing comfort on the court.

In the second semifinal, Naomi Osaka will battle Amanda Anisimova. Osaka, seeded 23rd, has captivated audiences with her resurgent form and eye-catching outfits, marking her first Grand Slam semifinal appearance since winning the 2021 Australian Open. She is looking to add a third US Open title to her resume. Osaka’s stellar performance included a dominant win over the 2023 US Open champion Coco Gauff. Anisimova, seeded eighth, is enjoying a career-best run at her home major, highlighted by a quarterfinal victory over world No. 1 Iga Świątek, avenging a painful loss at Wimbledon.

Sabalenka and Pegula will kick off the semifinal action at 7 p.m. ET in Arthur Ashe Stadium, followed by Osaka vs. Anisimova. Fans can watch the matches on ESPN in the US, Eurosport in Europe, and Sky Sports in the UK.

Sabalenka holds a dominant 9-2 record against Pegula, winning their last three meetings in straight sets in the finals of Cincinnati Open, the 2024 US Open and the 2025 Miami Open. However, Pegula’s confidence and home-court advantage could prove to be a significant factor.

Anisimova holds a 2-0 record over Osaka in their previous meetings and, like Pegula, will need to overcome Osaka’s stellar Grand Slam record of 13-0 in quarterfinal matches and later.

The stage is set for two compelling semifinals, promising drama, excitement, and the crowning of a worthy finalist at the 2025 US Open.
