US Open Women’s Quarterfinals Update – September 2, 2025
The 2025 US Open women’s draw is delivering storylines of both comeback and consistency as the quarterfinal stage begins. With Naomi Osaka and Iga Świątek leading the headlines, fans can expect high drama in New York.
Osaka’s Comeback Run
Naomi Osaka reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal since 2021 by defeating third seed Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-2. Returning to form in her comeback year after maternity leave, Osaka’s powerful baseline game clicked at just the right time. She now faces 11th seed Karolína Muchová, with the prospect of extending her fairytale run.
Świątek’s Historic Consistency
World No. 2 Iga Świątek eased past 13th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-1, securing quarterfinal berths at all four majors this year — the first woman to achieve the feat since Maria Sharapova in 2005. Her next challenge is American Amanda Anisimova, in a rematch of their Wimbledon final earlier this summer.
What’s at Stake
- For Osaka: A chance to prove her comeback is complete with a deep run at her favorite major.
- For Świątek: A shot at adding to her dominant 2025 campaign and cementing her all-surface legacy.
- For the WTA field: Quarterfinals feature a blend of proven champions and rising stars, keeping the tournament wide open.
Outlook: Between Osaka’s emotional return and Świątek’s record-setting march, the women’s quarterfinals promise both history and spectacle. With contrasting styles and gripping storylines, this stage of the US Open is set to deliver some of the tournament’s most memorable moments.
