USOpen.org caught up with CoCo Vandeweghe after her victory over Pliskova:
In his cleanest performance of the tournament, Rafael Nadal blitzed past Andrey Rublev, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2, to reach the US Open semifinals for the first time since 2013, when the Spaniard won his second and most recent Flushing Meadows crown.
No. 20 seed CoCo Vandeweghe of the U.S. stunned women's top seed and 2016 finalist Karolina Pliskova, 7-6, 6-3, Wednesday to reach her second Grand Slam semifinal of her career and first ever at the US Open.
Madison Keys plays her fourth match out of five at night in Ashe under the lights.
La narrativa al inicio del US Open 2017 era que el cuadro de las mujeres estaba abierto, que entre 10 y 12 jugadores llegaban con una oportunidad legítima de levantar el trofeo al final del torneo.
After a full off-season of training brought a renewed confidence in her fitness, American CoCo Vandeweghe has posted the best results of her pro career.
Only two of the Top 10 seeds advanced to the quarterfinals, and parity has reigned in Week 2, with six of the 10 matches played thus far in the round of 16 and the round 8 going the maximum three sets. That included both Tuesday tilts – a pair of match of the tournament candidates (non-del Potro division) that ended in dramatic final-set tiebreaks, with Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens advancing behind identical, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 score lines. That sets up the first all-U.S. women’s semifinal in New York since 2002.
The pride of South Africa, Kevin Anderson, eliminates the final American male left in the 2017 US Open draw with a 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 7-6 triumph over Sam Querrey.
After three sets and a tiebreak, No. 9 Venus Williams snuck by No. 13 Petra Kvitova, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 to advance to the 2017 US Open semifinals.
Wednesday’s quarterfinal contests figure to continue this tournament's trend toward the dramatic, as Karolina Pliskova faces off with CoCo Vandeweghe, Rafael Nadal goes against Andrey Rublev, Madison Keys takes on Kaia Kanepi, and Roger Federer battles Juan Martin del Potro.
Check out the picks of the USOpen.org editorial team for the Day 10 quarterfinal matches.
The junior tournaments roll on, with six American girls through to Round 3.
From inside Grandstand, Juan Martin del Potro's thrilling fourth-round comeback win was an unforgettable experience.
Action heated up in men's doubles play on Tuesday as the final four was set.
Sloane Stephens defeated No. 16 seed Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia in a third-set tiebreak, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6, Tuesday to become the first woman to reach the US Open semifinals.
There are few better of latter-career success in sports than the late-career resurgence of 37-year-old Venus Williams, who has overcome illness to play remarkably consistent tennis.
For years, US Open fans have waited for Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to match up on the grounds of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. They have played four times at the Australian Open, five times at the French Open, three times at Wimbledon and on 20 occasions in Masters 1000 events.
But never have they met at America’s Grand Slam, the one void in one of the greatest rivalries in tennis history.
