US Open Tennis 2025 Results, Thursday's Bracket Winners, Losers and Highlights

Amanda Anisimova will try to become the third American woman to win her home major in the last decade on Saturday.

The No. 8 seed outlasted No. 23 seed and four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka in three sets in a Thursday night semifinal that bled into Friday morning.

Anisimova's challenge in the final looks even more difficult since top seed Aryna Sabalenka is the reigning US Open champion.

Sabalenka dealt with a battle of her own on Thursday, as she needed three sets to take down No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula.

No. 8 Amanda Anisimova def. No. 23 Naomi Osaka, 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 6-3

Amanda Anisimova won a three-set, three-hour epic over Naomi Osaka.

Anisimova grabbed control of the match with a win in the second set tiebreak.

The boost from the tiebreak win helped Anisimova command the third set with an early break.

Anisimova will appear in her second consecutive Grand Slam final on Saturday. She was shutout in a straight-set loss to Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final.

The 24-year-old already avenged that loss to Swiatek in the quarterfinals and beat Osaka in the semifinals, so a final win over Sabalenka doesn't seem that unrealistic.

No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka def. No. 4 Jessica Pegula, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4

Aryna Sabalenka rallied from her first dropped set of the tournament to take down Jessica Pegula in a rematch of last year's US Open final.

Sabalenka bounced back from her first-set defeat to Pegula by winning three straight games to open the second set.

The top seed won the second set by three games and then closed out Pegula with a 6-4 third-set triumph.

The 27-year-old will play for the fourth major title of her career on Saturday. Her three previous major triumphs occurred on hard courts. She is the reigning US Open champion and won the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024.
