Aryna Sabalenka is the only Grand Slam winner to feature in the US Open semi-finals - BBC Sport takes a look at the four contenders.
Aryna Sabalenka has been tipped as the one to beat at this year's US Open since she arrived in New York.
However, in March her former boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, died in what she called "an unthinkable tragedy". The American has been one of the stars of the year, winning her first WTA title in Hobart in January, before consistently improving on her Grand Slam showings. She split with long-term coach David Witt after the Australian Open, where she lost in the second round, before her clay season was interrupted by neck and back injuries.
