[4] Jessica Pegula defeated Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets. It was a match full of twists and turns. Pegula got off to an early lead, but Krejcikova fought back to get back on serve. However, the American kept her cool and immediately broke again to secure the first set 6-3. The third set saw Pegula breaking the Czech player three times. Although Barbora Krejcikova got one of the breaks back, it was not enough to unsettle the American. This 6-3, 6-3 victory sends Pegula into her second semifinal at the US Open. She will play Aryna Sabalenka, who leads their H2H 7:2. Sabalenka advanced when Marketa Vondrousova withdrew from the tournament due to injury.

Pegula hopes that she will get another opportunity to get back to the final of a major. In 2024 she made it to the US Open final.
