Following her maiden WTA title win in Lexington last month, the 28th seed is yet to drop a set at this year's US Open. With a resounding fourth round victory over former champion Angelique Kerber and an easy quarterfinal win over Yulia Putintseva, the 25-year old has reached a career milestone.

“Coming into the match today, honestly I was feeling like I was going to poop my pants, but I was very nervous,” Brady told press afterwards. “I just tried to really stay calm and, like, keep it cool as a cucumber out there.”

Brady credited her newfound consistency to the off-season work she did with new coach Michael Geserer: the American trained with him in Germany instead of spending the time off back home in the United States.

“I decided if I want to give myself an opportunity to maximize my potential and see how far I can get as a tennis player, I think I have to make a change,” Brady said. “Because [my new coach and trainer] were based out of Germany, I decided, Okay, I'll go to Germany.”

This proved to be very effective, as she hoisted her first trophy upon resumption of the tour. Furthermore, she is yet to drop a set in both tournaments, as her huge serve and penetrating forehand allow her to apply constant pressure to her opponents.

The World No.41 will face 2018 champion Naomi Osaka for a spot in the final, after Osaka defeated Shelby Rogers in her quarterfinal match.
