The No. 3 player in women's tennis then slammed her racket to the court as emotions boiled over.Things only got worse.
Anisimova broke the tournament's No. 2 seed up 5-4 in the first set when Sabalenka fired long and took out some anger on her racket. She will face Emma Navarro on Sunday after the No. 8 seed downed U.S. counterpart Taylor Townsend 6-3, 7-6 . The five U.S.-born women in the final eight are the most at a WTA 1000 event since the format's inception in 2009, and the most at any tour event since 2001.
She advanced when No. 16 seed Dayana Yastremska retired from their match before defeating wild-card Marina Stakusic of Mississauga, Ont., and stunning No. 4 Jelena Ostapenko.
