    Britain youngster Emma Raducanu has reached the semi-finals of the 2021 US Open by beating Tokyo 2020 Olympics winner Belinda Bencic in straight sets.

    On the other hand, world No.18 Sakkari advanced to her second major semi-final of the season and first in New York. She defeated No.4 Karolina Pliskova, 6-4, 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the US Open. The 26-year-old Sakkari is also the first Greek woman to reach the US Open singles semi-finals. This was a third straight over a Top 10 seed as well,

"Obviously she's having the tournament of her life. She deserves to be here. She has won all these matches."
