US Open women’s semi-finals preview: A pair of unranked teenagers will take the stage in the US Open women’s semi-finals: Britain’s Emma Raducanu, 18, and Canada’s Leylah Fernandez, 19.
Fernandez, 73rd in the standings, will face No.2 seed Aryna Sabalenka in the first semi-final on Thursday night. She tries to replicate the feat of compatriot Bianca Andreescu, who won the US Open in 2019 at the age of 19.
Sabalenka is in her second consecutive major semi-final and is trying to reach her first Grand Slam final.
The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
This will be followed by Raducanu, 150th, against No.17 seed Maria Sakkari of Greece. Raducanu is the first female qualifier to qualify for the final four of the pro-era US Open, which began in 1968.
Sakkari also made his first Slam semi-final this year at Roland Garros. To go further, she will have to beat Raducanu who has not yet dropped a set at Flushing Meadows.
None of the four remaining women in the tournament have ever played in a Grand Slam final.
