 Naomi Osaka and Jennifer Brady are going to a third set in the first women's semifinal at the U.S. Open. 
 Osaka won the first set 7-6 (1) but Brady rallied by securing the only service break in the match thus far late in the second set and then closing it out 6-3.
 Brady, the No. 28-seeded American, hadn't dropped a set on the way to her first Grand Slam semifinal until Osaka, the 2018 champion at Flushing Meadows, won the final five points of the tiebreaker. 
 The other semifinal, between Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka, will follow.

 Naomi Osaka is trying to return to the U.S. Open women’s final, facing first-time Grand Slam semifinalist Jennifer Brady.
 Osaka was the 2018 champion at Flushing Meadows and followed that up by winning the Australian Open the next January.
 The No. 4 seed from Japan arrived on the court for the evening’s first semifinal with a mask featuring the name of Philando Castile, a Black man who was killed by Minnesota police during a traffic stop in 2016.
 Brady, the No. 28 seed, hasn’t lost more than four games in any set during the tournament.

 Bruno Soares of Brazil and Mate Pavic of Croatia have won the men’s doubles title at the U.S. Open, beating Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands and Nikola Mektic of Croatia 7-5, 6-3.
 The Grand Slam title in men's doubles is the third for Soares, the second for Pavic and their first together. They’re 24-15 as a team since joining forces last year.
 Soares and Pavic won by breaking serve once in each set. The first break came on the final point of the opening set, when Soares hit a forehand return cross-court into the corner for a winner.
 Pavic’s lob winner produced another break to give his team a 4-2 lead in the final set, and he served out the match at love.
