Jessica Pegula, Aryna Sabalenka Advance to US Open Final

Jessica Pegula achieved a remarkable comeback at the US Open, defeating Karolina Muchova 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 to reach her first Grand Slam final. This victory follows Pegula's prior win over world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, breaking a streak of six consecutive quarter-final defeats. She will face Aryna Sabalenka, who advanced to the final after a 6-3, 7-6(2) victory against Emma Navarro, marking her second consecutive final appearance at the US Open. Sabalenka, the reigning Australian Open champion, displayed dominant form throughout the tournament, hitting 34 winners in her semi-final match. Both players will contend for the title, with Pegula receiving strong home support at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Sabalenka humorously acknowledged the crowd's support for Navarro during her match, promising them 'marg-Arynas' for their cheers.
