Jennifer Brady’s great ride continues. The American tennis player is the first semifinalist of the US Open, when she dealt with Kazakhstan’s Julia Putinceva 6: 3, 6: 2 without any major problems and celebrates her maximum in grand slams. Among the men, the German tennis player Alexander Zverev was the first to advance to the semifinals, defeating Croatian Bornu Čorič after sets 1: 6, 7: 6, 7: 6 and 6: 3.

Brady attracted attention at the beginning of the season by winning over world number one Ashleigh Barty in Brisbane, where she was subsequently eliminated in the quarterfinals by Petra Kvitová. At the big tournament in Dubai, Brady went a round further.
After the restart of the season and a five-month break caused by coronavirus, she already celebrated her first WTA title in Lexington and is also giving great performances at the US Open. The match with Putinceva was dominated from the beginning and the first game allowed the opponent to score 4: 0.
“I was nervous, but so was she. The quick lead helped me calm down,” said Brady, who had lost two previous duels to Putineva in two sets. “I tried to think that it was a first round match. Before, I always adapted to her game, but today I didn’t allow it and she was more aggressive,” she added contentedly.
He will play for the final either against the previous year’s Japanese winner Naomi Osaka or against compatriot Shelby Rogers, the eight-final winner of Kvitová.

The German, two years younger, was among the last four in grand slam tournaments at the Australian Open in January this year.
On Tuesday in New York, the seventh player in the rankings, after a vague start, turned the match around with Borna Čorič and defeated Chorvata 1: 6, 7: 6, 7: 6 and 6: 3.
