Top-seeded quartet set for US Open women's semi-final showdown
NEW YORK, September 9 - Two-time champion Aryna Sabalenka aims to advance to her third consecutive U.S. Open title with a semi-final showdown against Jessica Pegula, while Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina will face home favorite Coco Gauff in the other last-four match. This marks the first time since 2009 that all four top seeds at a Grand Slam have reached the semi-finals, with Sabalenka, Rybakina, Gauff and Pegula all former major champions in the race for a maiden Grand Slam title.
Sabalenka has advanced to the U.S. Open semi-finals for the sixth straight year and is now just two victories away from becoming the first woman since Serena Williams (2012-2014) to win three consecutive titles in New York.
