Anhelina Kalinina Makes History at US Open, Elina Svitolina's Journey Ends

Anhelina Kalinina's Triumphant Run

In a stunning upset, Anhelina Kalinina, the world's 58th-ranked player, has reached the semifinals of the US Open. The Ukrainian player has played with determination and resilience, surprising many with her dominant performance.

Kalinin's remarkable journey began with a victory over former Wimbledon champion Simona Halep. She then went on to defeat 12th seed Daria Kasatkina and former US Open champion Naomi Osaka.

In the quarterfinals, Kalinina faced off against 19th seed Danielle Collins, who had been in impressive form this tournament. However, Kalinina fought back from a set down to win the match in three sets.

Elina Svitolina's Disappointing Exit

Meanwhile, Ukraine's other top player, Elina Svitolina, has had a disappointing tournament. The former world No. 3 was eliminated in the third round by Jule Niemeier, a German qualifier ranked 108th in the world.

Svitolina has struggled for form in recent months, and her loss at the US Open is a setback in her bid to return to the top of the rankings.

What's Next?

Kalina will now face Poland's Iga Swiatek, the world's top-ranked player, in the semifinals. Swiatek has been in dominant form this year, winning two Grand Slam titles and 55 consecutive matches.

It will be a tough challenge for Kalinina, but she has shown that she is capable of anything. If she can continue her impressive run, she could make history by becoming the first Ukrainian woman to reach a Grand Slam final.
