 Coco Goff vs. Yelena Osterpenko is the second quarter final for the ladies US Open for 2023. And both players have been very impressive again this tournament to get to this stage. Osterpenko entered the tournament as the 20th seed and would take on Paulini in the first round. And after dropping the second set, would fight through in 3, 6-2, 4-6, 6-1. In the second round she'd take on Avanessian and again after dropping the second set, she would fight back to win 6-3, 5-7, 7-5. In the third round she'd take on Perra and again after splitting the first two sets, Osterpenko would win in 3, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. In the fourth round she'd take on the number one in the world and defending champion Egas Fiontek. Players she'd never actually lost to before. And after dropping the first set, she would fight back to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-1 to get to the quarter finals. Goff entered the tournament as the number six seed and would take on the qualifier Sigmund in the first round. And after dropping the first set, she would fight through the win 3-6, 6-2, 6-4. In the second round she'd take on Andraeva and this was a very impressive match by Goff winning in straight 6-3, 6-2. In the third round she'd take on the 32 seed Mertens who had saved match points in her two previous matches. And after dropping the first set, Goff would fight back to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-1. In the fourth round she'd take on Wozniaki who was coming back for the first time in a Grand Slam in three years. And after splitting the first two sets, Goff would fight back to win 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 to advance to another US Open Quarter Final. These two were played twice before with the head to head split down the middle 1-1. In the previous meeting being at the Australian Open earlier in the year, we lost to Penko getting the win there, but Goff, we all know, has changed so much in the last couple of months. It'd be great to see a rematch. If Osta Penko is going to win this one, she needs to clean up the errors. There was a lot of errors in Shryontek's match early in the first set, so she needs to clean that up earlier in this match, otherwise Goff, if she gets off to a good start, gets that crowd involved, things could get difficult. If Goff's going to win this one, she needs to keep her nerve. There's a big opportunity here to make a semi-final. She was supposed to play Shryontek if you looked at the draw. So she's playing us to Penko, she just lost to her nine months ago or so. She's got to keep her nerve and be aggressive. She's playing so well and serving so well as well in this one. This is such a great matchup with Goff getting an opportunity to make a semi-final of her home slam. And Osta Penko, very underrated player that nobody wants to play in these draws. I've got to go with Goff though, the hometown favourite in three sets. I reckon Goff will get it done in the end. Osta Penko played great against Shryontek, but she has played a lot of three-setters this week. And you wonder if Goff might be able to just get the energy of the crowd and get through to the finals. But let me know down in the comments below who's making the semi-final.
