The search for Aryna Sabalenko for the title Maiden Grand Slam this year gathered pace when World No. 1 was postponed aside by the unklted Spaniard Cristina Bucsa 6-1, 6-4 in the fourth round at the Louis Armstrong stadium on Sunday 31. Stadion Arthur Ash.
Sabalenec, a runner at the Australian Open, at the French Open before the semifinal defeat in Wimbledon, looked at her imperial best and released Bucsu in an hour to book a quarterfinal clash with Vondrous.
“I was very satisfied with the victory of the direct set. The second set was a bit complicated, but I’m glad I could close it without dropping,” Sabalenka said after she expanded her strip of Grand Slam quarterfinals to 12.

For Vondrousov, running to the quarterfinals was a story of redemption. After her breakthrough Wimbledon triumph in 2023, her career was derailed by injury. The premature exit from the first round in Wimbledon 2024 as a champion-champion’s advocate is just the second woman since Steffi’s graph suffered from such fate-quickly followed by the left shoulder operation.
Vondrous’s Graphs Comeback Journey
Once Vondrousova was included for up to 6 years, it lasted another charm on the sidelines and withdrew from Open USA in 2024 and the Australian Open at the beginning of this year. Subsequent premature exits in Roland Garros and Wimbledon have complicated its struggles, but it seems that 26 -year -old now regained its highest form.
“It’s amazing. It was an amazing match. After all I have gone, it is amazing to stand here again,” Vondrouosova said, thinking about her return from repeated injuries.
The left -handed was at her fiery best in Arthur Ash against Rybakina, who preceded her vintage strength in New York the previous week. Vondrouov fired 13 aces and hit 29 winners in the commanding performance, prevailing 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 to achieve his second American Open Quarterfinal.
Rybakina fought hard to settle the competition and absorbed the serving fire with persecuted defense to claim the second set. But after holding it to open the referee, it was gradually overcome by Vondrous’s tireless affection and intention.
The Czech head has excluded the seeds of the best TOP 10 until the last eight years, which also expelled Jasmine Paolini semen on Friday on Friday.
Vondrousova will now face Sabalenek for the tenth career. World No. 1 was defeated in direct sets only recently last month at the Masters Cincinnati, although Vondrousova defeated Sabalenko on the grass in Berlin early this year. Her last hard victory over Belarus dates back to 2018.
