The US Open heats up on Day 11 with a plethora of thrilling matches that one should not miss as a tennis enthusiast. From high-stakes singles matches to emotional farewells, here is a rundown of the top five storylines for today’s action at the US Open.
Sabalenka vs. Navarro: A Clash of the Titans
This is a titanic semifinal matchup between Aryna Sabalenka and Emma Navarro from New York City in the women’s singles at the US Open. An aggressive game from Sabalenka pits her against the rising star from New York City, Emma Navarro. Both players have faced off earlier in the year—twice; to be specific, with a win each.
The World No. 2 Sabalenka has a wealth of Grand Slam experience, having reached the semifinals in seven of her last eight major events. Navarro has enjoyed a remarkable season and beat Coco Gauff en route to the last four, seemingly at the top of her game. A feast of contrasting styles and hard-nosed battling is on offer for fans in this US Open encounter.
Jessica Pegula’s Semifinal Sojourn
Jessica Pegula finally broke through to her first Grand Slam semifinal at the US Open on her seventh attempt. Her strong showing against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek showed that she’s in peak form. Her opponent, Karolina Muchova, has all sorts of games that can test Pegula from her recent dominance. Their last match in Cincinnati was also pretty tight, as Pegula staged a great comeback. It is expected to be an exciting and action-packed match because both players will try their best once to move on to the US Open final.
Mixed Doubles Final: The Bittersweet Goodbye
The US Open mixed doubles final ushers in the events of the day. In attendance are Italian duo Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori and American pair Taylor Townsend/Donald Young. For Young, though, this match bears that much more emotional value, considering it comes at the close of his professional tennis career. Just imagine having a Grand Slam title on home turf for his swansong to add another layer to the sparkle in an already scintillating matchup at the US Open.
Men’s Doubles Semifinals: En Route to Glory
We have reached the semifinals in men’s doubles at the US Open, and it will indeed be an interesting couple of matches. Nathaniel Lammons and Jackson Withrow take on Australians Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson after beating the defending champions in the round of 16, while Roland Garros champions Mate Pavic and Marcelo Arevalo face Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz. These matches will give a cue on which pairs will make it to the final, and both match-ups promise plenty of action in the US Open.
Rei Sakamoto: Shines at US Open
Keep an eye out among juniors for 18-year-old Rei Sakamoto of Japan. A week into the US Open, the Australian Open boys’ singles champion has turned heads. In pursuit of a semifinal spot, he faces Turkey’s Atakan Karahan. The teenage verve and excellent performance so far by Sakamoto raise expectations that he might turn out to be a star in the making at the US Open.
