The week following Labor Day always signals getting back to business, and SI Swimsuit models past and present are taking that idea to heart. All around the world, the women who have graced the pages of the annual magazine made some major career moves this week. While one athlete in particular made it to the semifinals of the U.S. open, another was announced as a cast member of a major television show.

From New York to Venice, Italy, and everywhere in between, several SI Swimsuit models had some exciting moments where their careers are concerned. And, as always, we’ve loved cheering them on along the way. Below, take a look at a few of our favorites from the week.

Naomi Osaka

Osaka, a 2021 SI Swimsuit Issue cover model, made it to the semifinals of the U.S. Open, but fell to Amanda Anisimova on Thursday. The athlete’s deep run in the tournament was nothing but inspirational and a joy for tennis fans to witness.
