NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. Open tennis tournament (all times local):
1:15 p.m.
Naomi Osaka dominated Lesia Tsurenko 6-1, 6-1 at the U.S. Open to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal.
The No. 20 seed broke Tsurenko in the second game of the match, despite being on the sun-drenched side of the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium and cruised from there. She needed just 26 minutes to win the first set and finished the match in just under an hour.
Tsurenko, who had 31 unforced errors, went up 40-15 in the first game of the second set, but was broken again. She also had three break points in the sixth game of the set, but could not capitalize against the 20-year old.
