Amanda Anisimova flipped the script on Sept 3, ousting second seed Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 to reach her first US Open semi-final and exact revenge for one of the most brutal defeats in Grand Slam history, Reuters reported.

Less than two months after suffering a devastating 6-0, 6-0 loss to the world No. 2 in the Wimbledon final, the American eighth seed won 67 of 121 points to complete the turnaround in 96 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

"Playing here is so freaking special," Anisimova said in her on-court interview. "I've been having the run of my life here... Today proved everything for me. I can do it."
