NEW YORK — Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka returned to the US Open semifinals without hitting a ball on Tuesday night because the woman she was supposed to face in the quarterfinals, 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova, pulled out of their match with an injury.

The U.S. Tennis Association's announcement of the walkover — about two hours before the match was scheduled to begin in Arthur Ashe Stadium — did not specify what was wrong with Vondrousova, though she was seen walking with a wrap around her left knee.

Jessica Pegula (4) and Carlos Alcaraz (2) both booked their places in the semifinals with straight-sets victories over Barbora Krejčíková and Jiří Lehečka respectively.

Aryna Sabalenka (1) and Markéta Vondroušová were due to start the evening session on Arthur Ashe Stadium, but Vondroušová has withdrawn from the tournament. The only remaining singles match of the day, therefore, sees Novak Djokovic (7) face Taylor Fritz (4).

The other big match left on today's schedule is the continuation of Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez' women's double campaign — their match against Taylor Townsend and Kateřina Siniaková is underway.

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka moved into the US Open semi-finals without playing after Marketa Vondrousova withdrew with injury – setting up a repeat of last year's final against Jessica Pegula.

World number one Sabalenka was set to play unseeded Czech Vondrousova in Tuesday's night session in New York.

But the 2023 Wimbledon champion, whose career has been decimated by injuries, pulled out less than two hours before they were due to take to the court.
