In the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open, Iga Swiatek – Jessica Pegula will meet.
Iga Swiatek
The reigning world number one has everything on track so far at this tournament, she came for the title, a different performance will not be considered a success. At this tournament Swiatek experienced difficulties only in the first round with Rakhimova – 6:4, 7:6, after which she did not notice her opponents, Shibahara – 6:0, 6:1, Pavlyuchenkova – 6:4, 6:2, Samsonova – 6:4, 6:1.
The athlete has gained momentum, now it is very difficult to stop her, it is not accepted to look behind the back of rivals, although there is a feeling that only Sobolenko is able to give her a fight. Pegula is also a serious tennis player, against whom you need to show your maximum.
Jessica Pegula
The American player came to this tournament in strong form, she won the tournament in Toronto and then reached the final of the tournament in Cincinnati. Pegula is 30 years old and is ranked sixth in the world rankings.
At this US Open so far, the athlete has not given up a single game, first defeating Shelby Rogers – 6:4, 6:3, and then Sofia Kenin – 7:6, 6:3. In the third round was a victory over Spain’s Buzas Maneiro – 6:3, 6:3. The American won her last match against Dinara Schneider – 6:4, 6:2. Although Pegula is in brilliant form, it may not be enough in the match against Swiatek.
