The 25-year-old Sabalenková, who will become the new world number one next week, continues to hope for a second Grand Slam title of the season. At the beginning of the year, she dominated the Australian Open on the concrete surface. Five years younger, Zheng Qinwen defeated in 74 minutes, recorded 17 winning points and still did not lose a set in New York.

“I think I played great tennis today. I am very satisfied with my performance. I got a chance to play another Grand Slam semi-final and perform a bit better in it,” Sabalenková said in an interview on the court.

The native of Minsk is in the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the seventh time in her career and the fifth time in a row. Last year at the US Open, she was eliminated in the fight for the final with the later winner of the Polish Iga Šwiateková. “This time I will do everything to stay here until the end,” Sabalenková added.

Medvedev defeated Rublev in the Russian duel and is in the semi-finals of the US Open

Předloňský champion and world number three Daniil Medvedev advanced to the semi-finals at the US Open tennis tournament. In the Russian match, he defeated eighth-seeded Andrey Rublyov in two hours and 48 minutes 6:4, 6:3, 6:4. In the fight for the final, Medvedev will face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain or Alexander Zverev of Germany.

Twenty-seven-year-old Medvedev advanced to the top four on the New York concrete for the fourth time in the last five years. Overall, this is his seventh Grand Slam semifinal and second in a row. He also reached the same stage this year at Wimbledon.

He beat Rublyov, two years younger, despite more unforced errors (40:37) and fewer winning balls (26:32). However, he broke his opponent's serve nine times and ended the duel with a converted fifth match point.

Rublyov failed to reach the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the ninth time and was knocked out at the same stage as last year at Flushing Meadows. He also finished in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and Wimbledon this year.
