There were anxious moments. There were nerves. For the first time in this U.S. Open, Jessica Pegula wasn’t cruising.The third-seeded American, however, didn’t buckle.Pegula reeled off the next four games, moving past Svitolina, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, and into the fourth round and a meeting with fellow American Madison Keys on Labor Day.
Pegula, 29, broke the 26th-seeded Svitolina’s serve to go ahead in that last set and never looked back, advancing to the fourth round for just the second time in Flushing. “We’ve been in the same section every single tournament the last three or four tournaments,” Pegula said of Keys. “We were like, ‘I think the world just wants us to play,’ so I’m glad we get to put on a show for you guys. It’s gonna be really tough.”She reached the Wimbledon quarterfinals and is eyeing her first trip to that round at the U.S. Open since making it to the semifinals in 2018.
