NEW YORK (Reuters) -Amanda Anisimova proved that she would not be defined by the memories of her painful Wimbledon rout after she gained sweet revenge on Iga Swiatek to reach the U.S. Open semi-finals with a stunning 6-4 6-3 win over the Polish second seed on Wednesday.
The American eighth seed had been on the receiving end of a brutal 6-0 6-0 demolition job by Swiatek in the Wimbledon showpiece less than two months ago but produced some of her best tennis at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where she was cheered on by the partisan fans as she flipped the script on the six-times major winner.
