"Naomi Osaka expresses unexpected emotion, not weeping, upon qualifying for US Open semi-finals"
Naomi Osaka Advances to US Open Semifinals, Faces Amanda Anisimova
Naomi Osaka, the two-time US Open champion and Japanese tennis player, has secured her spot in the semifinals of the 2025 US Open. The 27-year-old mother returned to tennis after giving birth in July 2023 and has been making waves in the tournament.
Osaka's journey to the semifinals began with a victory over Karolina Muchova in the quarterfinals on September 3, 2025. She triumphed with scores of 6-4, 7-6 (7-3).
However, her next opponent will not be Aryna Sabalenka, as initially anticipated. The unexpected turn of events occurred when Amanda Anisimova defeated Osaka in their quarterfinal match. As a result, Anisimova will face Sabalenka in the final instead.
Osaka, visibly emotional after the match, shared her feelings, stating, "It means so much. I'm surprised I'm not crying." She expressed gratitude towards her team and invited her supporters to watch her next match in the semifinals.
The US Open semifinal match for Osaka will be a significant milestone in her return to tennis after motherhood. If she manages to win against Anisimova, she will be the first player to reach a Grand Slam final after becoming a mother since Victoria Azarenka at the 2020 US Open.
Amanda Anisimova qualified for the semifinals by defeating Iga Swiatek with scores of 6-4, 6-3. The victory secured her place in the final, while Osaka will be aiming to turn the tables in the semifinals.
Playing in the semifinals was like a dream coming true for Osaka. She expressed her emotions, stating, "I've been dreaming about this since I became a mother. It's just incredible."
The US Open semifinals promise to be an exciting and closely contested event, with both players determined to claim victory. The match will undoubtedly be a testament to the resilience and determination of both Naomi Osaka and Amanda Anisimova.
