Iga Swiatek reached her third Grand Slam semi-final of 2022 on Wednesday and first at the US Open with an error-strewn triumph over Jessica Pegula, the last remaining American woman in the tournament. 

French Open champion Swiatek claimed a 6-3, 7-6 (7-4) win, her third against Pegula this year. In Thursday’s semi-final, Poland’s Swiatek, 21, will face Aryna Sabalenka, who she has beaten thrice this season. World No.6 Sabalenka made the last-four for a second successive year with a 6-1, 7-6 (7-4) victory over former finalist Karolina Pliskova.
