Aryna Sabalenka into the semi-finals
Aryna Sabalenka chats to Sky Sports. “I wasn’t thinking about how to get through it, I was thinking I have to get the win, I was trying to focus on the tennis.” She mentions the infamous Roland-Garros final and trying to avenge it.
She’ll face Amanda Anisimova in the semis, who she’s played in three majors this year – the French and US Opens, and Wimbledon.
“That’s actually crazy,” she says. “She’s an incredible player, we have great battles, I’m so happy to see her back, fighting, playing her best tennis. It’s always enjoyable playing against her.
“I think whenever I focus on myself, without getting over-emotional and staying in the zone, that’s the key for me.”

Aryna Sabalenka beats Coco Gauff, 7-6(5), 6-2
Enormously impressive from Sabalenka to turn around that first set, winning the second in just 32 minutes. But Gauff completely fell apart, both in her serve – which started off well – and her forehand, which dictated much of the first set. Most of all, she lost her composure. Her title defence is over.
Sabalenka and Pegula advance from this group.
