A highly anticipated women’s singles match is set to take place today in the U.S. Open quarterfinals. Iga Swiatek, the Polish tennis sensation, is prepared to take on her American counterpart, Amanda Anisimova. This isn’t their first meeting, as both athletes have previously clashed on the tennis court back in the Wimbledon final earlier this year.
During their meeting at the Wimbledon final, Swiatek, who was the second seed in the tournament, dealt Anisimova a crushing defeat. It was an overwhelming performance by Swiatek, who didn’t allow Anisimova to win even a single game in their nearly hour-long match. The game ended with an unquestionable result of 6-0, 6-0 – a dominating exhibition which is known as a ‘double bagel’ in tennis lingo.
Anisimova, who currently holds the No. 8 rank in the sport, will be looking to settle the score when she steps onto the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center court today. She will be facing Swiatek again, in a quarterfinal match that promises to echo their previous battle.
Succeeding the contest between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex De Minaur at the Arthur Ashe Stadium the women’s showdown will take place. This match, which will start at 11:30 a.m. ET, is expected to conclude before 1 p.m. ET. Hence, Swiatek and Anisimova will play not before 1 p.m. ET.
The men’s match, an impressive face-off between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Alex De Minaur, will take place at the Arthur Ashe Stadium first. Serving as a precursor to the women’s quarterfinal, this match is slated to start at 11:30 a.m. ET, therefore guaranteeing the women’s match won’t start earlier than 1 p.m. ET.
