Pegula's victory on Wednesday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium came after she had started her career with an 0-6 record in major quarterfinals.
Police identified 14-year-old Colt Gray, a student at Apalachee High School, as the gunman who killed two students and two teachers. Jessica Pegula , of the United States, returns to Iga Swiatek , of Poland, during the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open tennis championships Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, in New York. NEW YORK — Jessica Pegula pulled off a major upset of Iga Swiatek at the U.S. Open, beating the No.
Entering Wednesday, Swiatek had lost just a pair of service games across four matches in the hard-court tournament, both in the first round — and she didn’t even face a single break point in any of her most recent three contests. That’s all part of why the 23-year-old from Poland was listed as a -350 money-line favorite against Pegula, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.
During Pegula’s previous 0-6 rut in major quarterfinals, two of the exits came against Swiatek, and one was against another No. 1 player, Ash Barty. Swiatek didn’t hide her frustration that well, including a big slap of her right thigh after a forehand flew wide to get broken yet again and trail 4-3 in the second set. Fifteen minutes later, it was over.
Muchova lost to champion Coco Gauff in the U.S. Open semifinals in 2023, but then needed surgery on her right wrist in October and was off the tour for about 10 months, returning this June. That was the latest in a series of injuries for Muchova, who called it “one of the worst ones that I had.” In the men’s quarterfinals, No. 25 Jack Draper reached his first Grand Slam semifinal — and became the first British man to get that far at the U.S. Open since Andy Murray won the 2012 trophy — by overwhelming No. 10 Alex de Minaur 6-3, 7-5, 6-2.
