Top four seeds reach U.S. Open women's singles semifinals

The top four seeds have advanced to the women’s singles semifinals at the U.S. Open for the first time since 1975. No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka is scheduled to face No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula, while No. 2 seed Elena Rybakina will play No. 4 seed Coco Gauff. This outcome marks only the second time in the Open Era that the top four seeds have reached the final four at this tournament. Players attributed their success to resilience throughout a season that saw each of them navigate individual struggles with form or fitness. Linda Nosková, who exited in the quarterfinals, noted that the competitive matches helped her regain personal motivation after a difficult stretch following her Wimbledon title. The semifinal matches are set for Thursday.
