She will face sixth seed Jessica Pegula, who won against 2025 champion Madison Keys earlier today.
The 24-year-old has been on a hot streak recently, making the final at both Wimbledon and the US Open last year.
In a post-match interview, Anisimova thanked the crowd for their infectious energy, even though a lot of the cheers were for her opponent.
“They [the fans] are so loud, they make the energy so fun,” she said.
“I really appreciate everyone sitting through the heat.”
