Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Amanda Anisimova froze the competitive heart of Iga Swiatek who was aiming to ignite in this US Open 2025. The young American showcased her best tennis to defeat the Polish player by 6-4 6-3, positioning herself as a strong title contender.
Anyone who thought that what happened in the Wimbledon final could be a reference point in the rivalry between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova was mistaken. Nerves got the best of the American on that occasion, but she rose stronger after that setback. There couldn't have been a better scenario to do so than facing her conqueror from that day in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2025, and she certainly made the most of it.
Determination, aggressiveness, and accuracy. When these three virtues come together in a player of Anisimova's caliber, it's nearly impossible to defeat her, even for a legend like Iga. From the early stages of the first set, it was evident that the American had that unique feeling of big nights. There was an exchange of breaks at the start, but then equality prevailed on the scoreboard, though not as much in the overall feel.
- Anisimova finished the match with 23 winners and 12 unforced errors
Anisimova looked much more comfortable on the court, setting the tempo of the match and leading the exchanges. The height and speed variations attempted by Iga were ineffective, and Amanda's expected statement came in the tenth game, in the form of a crucial break that gave her a partial advantage in the match.

The script continued along the same lines in a second set where Anisimova's flat, deep, and powerful shots cut through the New York air and Swiatek's hopes of a comeback. The Polish player managed to start with a break, but it was short-lived, quickly dissolved by her rival's thunderous hits.
With a dose of luck from several key shots that clipped the net and went in, including the match point, Amanda Anisimova sealed the match and secured her spot in the US Open 2025 semifinals. Iga Swiatek bids farewell to Flushing Meadows, feeling defeated by a player who will surely be a force to be reckoned with in the fight for Grand Slam titles in the upcoming years.
