GAUFF MIRACLE COMEBACK! 😱 RYBAKINA NEW WORLD NO.1 | US Open 2026 | Semi Final Preview & Predictions

Coco Gauff SAVES TWO MATCH POINTS in an incredible US Open 2026 comeback against Mirra Andreeva! 😱 Elena Rybakina defeats Zheng Qinwen to become the new World No.1, while Alexander Zverev storms into the semifinals.

Gauff looked to be heading out after losing the opening set 6-2, but somehow survived two match points in the second-set tiebreak before completing an incredible 2-6, 7-6, 6-2 victory over Andreeva.

We break down exactly how Coco turned the match around, Andreeva’s tactics against the Gauff forehand, the 39-shot rally that helped change the momentum and whether Andreeva became too cautious when she had the chance to finish the match.

Rybakina also produced a comeback of her own, defeating Zheng 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 to reach the US Open semifinals and secure the World No.1 ranking for the first time.

On the men’s side, Zverev continued his impressive run with a dominant straight-sets victory over Botic van de Zandschulp, while Karen Khachanov advanced after Alexander Blockx was forced to retire.

The US Open semifinals are now set:

Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina

Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula

Alexander Zverev vs Karen Khachanov

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe

Can Gauff complete another incredible US Open title run? Is Rybakina now the woman to beat? Is Zverev the favourite for the men’s title? And will Shelton or Tiafoe become the first American man into the US Open final?
