Jessica Pegula Rallies to Reach Dubai Final
- On Friday in Dubai, American fourth seed Jessica Pegula beat American Amanda Anisimova 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the semi-finals, reaching a WTA 1000 final.
- Anisimova raced to a 3-0 lead and won the opening set in under 30 minutes, while Pegula won only six of 16 first-set service points before changing tactics with short slices and a powerful backhand.
- In the decider, Pegula opened a 4 in the final set with an inch-perfect lob and then capitalized on a netted drop shot to secure victory.
- Pegula will await Coco Gauff or Elina Svitolina, and she said she is giving herself `a shot at winning the title tomorrow` in the Dubai final.
- The win was a rematch of their recent Australian Open quarter-final and marked Pegula's fifth win in as many meetings with Anisimova, continuing her semi-final streak and reaching her 21st career final.
