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"

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
