Because of the security measures associated with the presence of President Trump, the #USOpen men's singles final between Alcaraz and Sinner has been pushed back half an hour to 230 pm ET or 830 pm in Spain and Italy

Great, random and ultimately meaningless stat of the night:
This is the 1st time in the history of women's #tennis, dating to 1884, that all four singles semifinalists at a major have surnames that end with the letter "a"
Sabalenka Pegula Anisimova Osaka

From a double-bagel defeat at #Wimbledon to Champagne and caviar in New York. American Amanda Anisimova bounces back in a big way to defeat Iga Swiatek 6-4 6-3 and reach her 1st #USOpen semifinal. Got two big net-cord winners down the stretch but earned this one. Held her nerve and used her skills

Feel for Taylor Fritz, no doubt, but marvel at Novak Djokovic at age 38 beating nearly all of the world's best players in their prime
Don't see him getting past Alcaraz and Sinner back to back but even if he does not, this season, with at least four semis at the majors, is a remarkable achievement

2-time #Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova, 35, says 2025 will be her final season and expects @USOpen will be her final tournament.
Former No. 2, Kvitova, with easy power & lefty serve, won 31 singles titles. Six-time Fed Cup champ with Czechia. Made remarkable comeback from a 2016 knife attack

New French star Arthur Fils pulls off his shirt and pumps up on the Lenglen Court after losing a two-set lead & finding a way to rally from a break down in the 5th to beat Jaume Munar 7-6 (3) 7-6 (4) 2-6 0-6 6-4 in R2
Said he was having back problems but fought through it

Big moment for me. The Warrior is now out worldwide in English, German, Hungarian & Polish with more languages coming. 22 years in the making. 2 years in the writing. I went deep on #Nadal's career & on #RolandGarros📷, the dusty Parisian showplace with which he will always be associated

Rafa loses it for real when the people behind the scenes at #RolandGarros walk onto the clay to show their appreciation for the respect he showed them over 20 years. Had to be done: such a part of his story here
