"US Open 2023 Semifinals: Everything You Need to Know"

Aryna Sabalenka, set to become the new World No.1, is poised to claim her first US Open title after reaching her fifth consecutive Grand Slam semifinal. She follows in the footsteps of Serena Williams in achieving this feat. Sabalenka faces Madison Keys, who, despite only one previous Grand Slam semifinal win six years ago, brings confidence from eliminating Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova. While Sabalenka is the favorite, Keys could pull off an upset.

Coco Gauff, the American sensation, seeks her first Flushing Meadows semifinal appearance after an impressive run. Gauff’s dominance in defeating Jelena Ostapenko indicates her potential, but she faces Karolina Muchova, aiming for her second Grand Slam final appearance. Muchova’s impeccable performance in the tournament, with only one dropped set, poses a considerable challenge to Gauff.

The semifinals promise excitement, with Sabalenka and Gauff favored, but Keys and Muchova are more than capable of springing surprises.
