US Open: Pegula Upsets Swiatek To Enter First Major Semifinal

By IANS News September 05, 2024 • 09:20 AM View: 246

Arthur Ashe Stadium: Jessica Pegula earned the biggest win of her Grand Slam career in Arthur Ashe Stadium, moving past world No.1 Iga Swiatek, 6-2, 6-4, to reach her first major semifinal.

Pegula entered this year’s main draw with six Grand Slam quarterfinals to her name in her last 14 appearances at the majors, though this year she had not been past the second round at any major.

The victory is Pegula's fourth career win over Swiatek and first since the 2023 Omnium Banque Nationale. She joined Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Barbora Krejcikova as the only players to notch four wins over the Pole, according to WTA stats.
