Top four seeds reach US Open women's singles semi-finals for first time

Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, and Coco Gauff have advanced to the semi-finals of the US Open. This marks the second time in Open Era history that all four top seeds have reached the final four of the tournament, with the only previous occurrence taking place in 1975. Elena Rybakina secured the world number one ranking following her quarter-final victory. The tournament format has evolved significantly since 1975, when the event was played on clay courts rather than the current surface. The semi-final matchups are set for Thursday, September 10, with Aryna Sabalenka scheduled to face Jessica Pegula, while Elena Rybakina will play Coco Gauff. The event represents a rare statistical milestone for the top-ranked players in the women's draw.
