Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the US Open semifinals after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew from their quarterfinal match with an injury. Vondrousova, the 2023 Wimbledon champion, pulled out a couple of hours before the scheduled match against No. 1-seeded Sabalenka. Sabalenka progressed without playing that quarterfinal and will face No. 4 Jessica Pegula in the semifinals on Thursday. The semifinal pairing is a rematch of last year's Flushing Meadows final, which Sabalenka won in straight sets. Vondrousova's injury was not specified, though she was seen walking with a wrap around her left leg.
