2018 champion Naomi Osaka of Japan advanced to the US Open semifinals for the second time in her career, ousting Shelby Rogers of the United States, 6-3, 6-4, in a Tuesday night tilt on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
In a hard-hitting dust-up, World No.9 Osaka had to upend a dire head-to-head record against Rogers to get the win, having lost all three of her previous matches against the American in straight sets. However, Osaka did in fact turn the tables in their first match since 2017, as she got on the board in their rivalry with the 79-minute victory.

Osaka will now face another powerful American in the final four, when she takes on No.28 seed Jennifer Brady. One of the hottest players of the summer, Brady, who won her first career WTA singles title in Lexington last month, dispatched No.23 seed Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan earlier on Tuesday to reach her first-ever Grand Slam semifinal.
Brady, who had been 0-2 against Putintseva, was playing in her first major quarterfinal and admitted to nerves, but dispatched her opponent in 1 hour, 9 minutes.
“I came out with nerves, obviously,” she told Brad Gilbert in her on-court interview. “I think she did, too. It’s our first quarterfinal. I just tried to treat it like all the other matches and pretend like it was a first-round match. I was happy with how it started and I was able to keep the momentum and build off of that.”
Brady will pick up an $800,000 payday for reaching the semifinals after earning about $400,000 thus far in 2020.
