Jessica Pegula beat top-ranked Swiatek in straight sets in front of a home crowd to confirm two American semifinalists.
Jessica Pegula ousted top seed Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals to continue the rich vein of her compatriots’ success at the US Open while men’s world number one Jannik Sinner beat Daniil Medvedev to book his spot in the semifinals.
The losses for Swiatek and Medvedev ensured that the US Open will crown two new champions this year.
Sinner will face Jack Draper for a spot in a second Grand Slam final after the United Kingdom’s surprise package earlier stunned hobbled Australian Alex de Minaur 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 to become the first British man to reach the semis since 2012.
