The US Open women’s singles semifinals are set for Thursday, with Aryna Sabalenka to play Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina to face home favourite Coco Gauff. The matches are scheduled to begin at midnight, according to the listings.
Sabalenka, the tournament’s two-time defending champion, is seeking a third straight US Open title. Her semifinal against Pegula is framed as a meeting with a familiar opponent. Rybakina’s semi-final places her against Gauff, who is playing at home.
Both outlets describe the same semifinal line-up and match timing, but they differ slightly in phrasing, with one outlet referring to the event as being broadcast live on Sky Sports Tennis. Aside from these delivery details, the reports converge on the key fixtures and the stakes for the defending champion.
