Sports at a glance
MIAMI — Ticket prices for next year’s World Cup will range initially from $60 for group-stage matches to $6,730 for the final, but could change as soccer’s top event adopts dynamic pricing for the first time.
The prices are up from a range of $25 to $475 for the 1994 tournament in the United States and for the U.S. dollar equivalent $69 to $1,607 when ticket details were announced for the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
The initial draw period will be limited to Visa card holders and will run from 11 a.m. on Sept. 10 through 11 a.m. on Sept. 19.
Anisimova is moving on
NEW YORK — Amanda Anisimova upset Iga Swiatek 6-4, 6-3 in the U.S. Open quarterfinals less than two months after losing to the six-time Grand Slam champion in the Wimbledon final by a 6-0, 6-0 score.
The victory Wednesday allowed the No. 8-seeded Anisimova to reach her third major semifinal and first at Flushing Meadows. Anisimova is a 24-year-old who was born in New Jersey and grew up in Florida.
The powerful strokes and poise Anisimova displayed in Arthur Ashe Stadium against No. 2 Swiatek — the 2022 U.S. Open champion — were such a striking contrast to what happened at the All England Club’s Centre Court on July 12.
On the men’s side, Felix Auger-Aliassime eliminated Alex de Minaur 4-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5, 7-6 (4) to reach his second Grand Slam semifinal — and second at Flushing Meadows.
The No. 25-seeded Auger-Aliassime’s victory in Arthur Ashe Stadium included 22 aces. One came when de Minaur was just one point from taking a two-set lead.
Auger-Aliassime’s only other trip to the final four at a major came in New York in 2021 at age 21.
