We're in for quite the rematch. 💪
No. 4 seed American Jessica Pegula was flying in today’s quarterfinal match against Barbora Krejčíková, taking the win in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. 🇺🇲
She needed just 86 minutes to punch her ticket to the semis. Pegula becomes the first woman to reach back-to-back US Open semifinals without dropping a set since Serena Williams, who strung together four straight runs from 2011 to 2014. 🔥
Meanwhile, defending champ Aryna Sabalenka advanced without even stepping on court after 2023 Wimbledon winner Markéta Vondroušová withdrew with a knee injury. 😬
That sets up a Pegula vs. Sabalenka semifinal on Thursday – a rematch of last year’s US Open final, where Sabalenka came out on top in straight sets. But with the way Pegula is playing, this one could go either way. 🤩
GISTers, who you got? 👀
