At Arthur Ashe Stadium on September 3, 2025, Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova renew their rivalry in the US Open quarterfinals. Their only prior meeting came at the Wimbledon final in July, where Swiatek stunned the tennis world with a rare 6-0, 6-0 victory.
Anisimova is now hoping for a better match this time, as she finds herself in good form at the moment.
Swiatek, the world number two, enters this match with great momentum. She is through to her third US Open quarterfinal in four years, dropping only one set on the way and most recently dispatching Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-3, 6-1. Her summer has been nothing short of dominant, capped off by the win at Wimbledon. Swiatek looks sharp and has been managing both the pressure and the conditions with trademark composure.

Anisimova, meanwhile, is enjoying a breakthrough performance at her home Slam. Her fourth-round victory over Beatriz Haddad Maia, a 6-0, 6-3 statement, showed her confidence at the moment. This run marks her best-ever US Open showing and confirms that she belongs at the business end of the biggest tournaments.
The head-to-head is short but quite significant. Swiatek leads 1–0, their sole meeting being that Wimbledon final where she delivered a double bagel. For Anisimova, that result still lingers, but it also sets the stage for a chance at revenge on a hard court, where she has historically had strong results.
Match preview, predictions and odds
The keys to this match are clear. Anisimova will need to come out swinging, using her aggressive baseline game and early ball striking to put Swiatek on the defensive. Swiatek is usually very good at absorbing pace and flipping defense into offense in a single rally though. The mental side is just as crucial. Anisimova must put the Wimbledon loss behind her and draw energy from the home crowd. Serving could be another deciding factor; both players have shown streaks of brilliance mixed with vulnerability, and whoever manages a steadier first-serve percentage and protects their service games better will have a slight edge.
For me, Swiatek remains the favorite, just looking at her experience and ability to handle big moments.
Prediction: Swiatek in two sets.
