Amanda Anisimova defeated Naomi Osaka in three sets Thursday to secure a spot in the U.S. Open final.
Amanda Anisimova is a Grand Slam finalist once again.
Less than two months removed from a double bagel in her first Slam title match at Wimbledon, Anisimova earned a chance to redeem herself in the U.S. Open final after a grueling 6-7(4), 7-6, 6-3 victory over Naomi Osaka inside Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday night.
In her five previous appearances in Flushing, the young American had never advanced beyond the third round.
On the heels of an incredibly low moment in a career that’s simply had too many, however, Anisimova has unearthed some stellar tennis.
