At the U.S. Open quarterfinals in New York, Amanda Anisimova delivered a compelling performance to defeat Polish second seed Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 on Wednesday. This victory marked a significant turnaround for Anisimova, who had suffered a harsh 6-0, 6-0 loss to Swiatek in the Wimbledon final earlier this year.

The eighth-seeded American showcased resilience and skill on Arthur Ashe Stadium's courts, buoyed by the enthusiastic support of the home crowd. Swiatek, a six-time major champion, had entered the tournament as a strong contender following her Cincinnati title win but was unable to find her usual form against an inspired Anisimova.

With this win, Anisimova advances to the semifinals, where she will face either 11th-seeded Karolina Muchova from the Czech Republic or four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka.

Anisimova's triumph is seen as a significant upset and highlights her emerging potential on one of tennis's biggest stages.
