Amanda Anisimova reaches US Open quarterfinals, Iga Swiatek rematch
Share and Follow

Amanda Anisimova, who suffered a devastating defeat to Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon in July, losing with a double bagel score, has an opportunity for redemption.

The American player smoothly advanced to the U.S. Open quarterfinals, where she will face Swiatek again, after defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-0, 6-3 on Monday night at Arthur Ashe Stadium in a match that lasted just 75 minutes.

Swiatek had put together her own easy win in the Round of 16 earlier in the day, beating Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-1.

“Who would’ve thought we’d be meeting again so soon?” Anisimova remarked during her on-court interview. “I’m really excited. I hope it’s going to be a great match this time. I’m feeling good. She’s playing excellent tennis, so I really hope we’ll deliver a great performance.”

Anisimova and fourth-seeded Jessica Pegula are the only two Americans left in the women’s singles draw.

A native of Freehold Township, N.J., Anisimova’s run to the Wimbledon final earlier this summer was her best result at a Grand Slam.

Monday night was devoid of any drama for Anisimova.

The first set took her just 26 minutes to wrap up as Haddad Maia hit four double-faults and never looked at ease with her serve.

Haddad Maia was more competitive in the second set, but never led and remained inconsistent on serve, with Anisimova breaking three more times.

Anisimova finished the match with 27 winners and joked afterward that she didn’t get much support from the crowd, which rooted for the Brazilian largely out of a desire to avoid going home early.

“It’s the Round of 16, and there’s gonna be nerves,” Anisimova said. “Especially against Bea, who is such a tough opponent I really have to stay mentally strong. … I love playing on big stages, so I feel like my game, I play so freely out here. I was really enjoying it, and I’m really happy I was able to put on a good performance today.”

After Coco Gauff’s loss earlier Monday, Swiatek is the highest-ranked player remaining in the women’s draw, and she has not lost since July 27 in Montreal.

She rolled through the field at Cincinnati without dropping a set and has been pushed to three sets just once so far in New York.

The 2022 champ now is the favorite to win here again, but Anisimova will have no trouble finding home crowd support Wednesday, when she will be the underdog looking to rewrite the narrative.

If Monday was any indication, she’ll be in with a puncher’s chance.
