The top four seeds in the women’s singles draw at the US Open reach the semi-finals for the first time since 1975. All four remain in the tournament as the event progresses to the final stages.
The BBC and Yahoo Sports both highlight the rarity of the outcome, noting that it marks a long gap since the last time the leading four seeds reached the last four at this stage of the women’s draw. The reports focus on the match-day milestone created by the semi-final line-up rather than on specific semi-final pairings, results, or details of individual matches.
Across the outlets, the common emphasis is the historical nature of the draw’s progression—specifically, that the highest-ranked players expected to advance have done so. With the semi-final stage now set, the remaining coverage centers on what the line-up represents in terms of tournament patterns, with no substantial disagreement on the core fact of the four-seed achievement.
