Naomi Osaka will take on Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals of the US Open as she bids to reach her first Grand Slam final in almost five years. The two-time champion in New York won her last major title at the 2021 Australian Open, before taking a break from the sport and giving birth to her daughter, Shai, two years later.

Anisimova is seeking to reach back-to-back Grand Slam finals for the first time in her career. The American star enjoyed a fairytale run at the Wimbledon Championships but was crushed by Iga Swiatek in the final. She got her revenge on Wednesday (September 3), beating the Polish star in straight sets.

Naomi Osaka vs. Amanda Anisimova: Match Preview

Naomi Osaka is aiming for her third tour-level final in the WTA this season. The first time she reached a final since returning from her maternity leave was at the Auckland Classics in January, where she retired from her clash against Clara Tauson. The second time was at the Canadian Open, where she lost to Victoria Mboko in three sets.

The former World No.1 has been in great form since arriving in New York, dropping just one set at the major tournament. The 27-year-old opened her account with a straight-sets win over Greet Minnen before thumping Hailey Baptiste in the second round.

In the third round, she overcame Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 and then stunned French Open champion Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-2. In the quarter-finals, she edged past Karolina Muchova 6-4, 7-6(3) to earn her place in the last four.

Amanda Anisimova, on the other hand, is seeking her second title of the season. She claimed her first at the Qatar Open, winning her first WTA 1000 title of her career. Since then, she has gotten to the finals at the Queen’s Club Championships and Wimbledon, finishing as runners-up in both.

She opened her account at the US Open with a straight-sets win over Kimberly Birrell and Maya Joint. In the third round, the 24-year-old overcame Jaqueline Cristian 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 and then defeated Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-0, 6-3 in the fourth round. In the quarter-finals, she breezed past Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 to reach her first US Open semi-final.

Naomi Osaka vs. Amanda Anisimova: Match Prediction

Naomi Osaka and Amanda Anisimova have beaten at least one Grand Slam champion en route to the semi-finals. Neither was ever a favorite to get to this stage of the tournament. However, they have clashed twice before, with Anisimova winning both encounters. Both meetings came in 2022 at Grand Slam events.

Anisimova stopped Osaka from defending her Australian Open title in 2022 after she came from a set down to beat the four-time Grand Slam champion. She then won again that same year at the French Open in straight sets. Currently, both players are in different stages of their careers than they were three years ago.

Nonetheless, either Anisimova’s winning streak against the Japanese star continues or Osaka’s unbeaten record in Grand Slam semi-finals ends. The former will be aiming to redeem herself in New York following her loss at the Wimbledon final, while for Osaka, winning the US Open would re-establish her place among the dominant forces in the women’s tennis circuit.

Match prediction: Amanda Anisimova to win in three sets.
