Overview

• Jessica Pegula became the first women's semifinalist in New York with a 6-3, 6-3 quarterfinal win over Barbora Krejcikova.
• The match lasted 1 hour 26 minutes and ended on Pegula’s first match point after a Krejcikova forehand error.
• Pegula has yet to lose a set at this year’s tournament.
• Her next opponent will be either world No. 1 and defending champion Aryna Sabalenka or Marketa Vondrousova.
• A clash with Sabalenka would be a rematch of last year’s final, which Pegula lost 5-7, 5-7, while fellow American Amanda Anisimova still chases a semifinal spot and Coco Gauff is out.
