In contrast to the celebrated Martin Heidegger, who was favored by the Nazis and a fervent supporter of the "National Socialist Revolution," remaining a member of the NSDAP until the end, the legacy of the German-Jewish philosopher Ernst Cassirer has unjustly faded from view for a long time. Cassirer came from a Silesian entrepreneurial family that later settled in Berlin. Many members of this family had a significant influence on German cultural life from the early 20th century until the rise of the Nazis.

At first, Liudmila Samsonova presented a challenge for Iga Swiatek. She held serve four times to start the first set. She blended power and finesse with her serve — even reaching 117 mph — to keep the world No. 1 off-balance.

But then Swiatek took control. 

She lost just one more game the rest of the match. 

She has reached the pinnacle of the U.S. Open before, winning the singles title in 2022, and with her 6-4, 6-1 win in the Round of 16 on Monday, Swiatek moved one step closer toward winning her sixth Grand Slam and replicating her run...
