Canada’s Bianca Andreescu became the first teen US Open semifinalist since 2009 after beating Belgium’s Elise Mertens and set up a last-four clash with Belinda Bencic. The 19-year-old Toronto girl downed Mertens 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 while her fellow Slam semifinal debutante Bencic beat Croatian Donna Vekic 7-6 (7/5), 6-3. Either Bencic or Andreescu, who have never faced each other, will make it to her first Slam final.
