Pegula Cruises Past Krejcikova Into US Open Semis
Jessica Pegula has won all 10 sets at the US Open, losing only 23 games, the fewest by an American woman since Serena Williams in 2016.
- On Tuesday, Jessica Pegula defeated Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 6-3 at the US Open quarter-final at Arthur Ashe Stadium, winning in just 1:26 on her first match point under 90 minutes.
- Before this run, Pegula had struggled in grand-slam quarter-finals, losing six straight, but reached last year's US Open final and lost to Aryna Sabalenka.
- Krejcikova, visibly fatigued, missed an overhead and committed two double faults in the final game as Jessica Pegula fired 17 winners en route to her 6-3, 6-3 win.
- Pegula will next face either Aryna Sabalenka or Marketa Vondrousova in the semi-finals; as one of two Americans remaining, she aims for her first Grand Slam title.
- Pegula's unbeaten sets streak at the US Open includes 10 out of 10 sets won and losing only 23 games, echoing Serena Williams' back-to-back setless semifinal runs.
