He US Open He kept rubbing his hands. They are still looking to have two new home champions because there will certainly be American representation in the two individual finals: on Saturday, the women’s and on Sunday, the men’s, in both cases at 10:00 pm
No American in the men’s final since then Andy Roddick in 2006, the substitute was the survivor of the conflict between Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoewho will meet the Italian on the decisive day Jannik Sinner or the british Jack Draper, which will open the semi-final round today, Friday at 9 pm.
Tennis in the USA does not suffer from many emergencies at the women’s level, because Coco Gauff He became champion in 2023, a title he left vacant since losing in the round of 16 against his compatriot Emma Navarro. It will not compete for the trophy either, but instead Jessica Pegula. Against Belarusians Aryna Sabalenka in a final with its morbidity because the Arthur Ashe public will move to its opponent, theoretically inferior to the European, its recent executioner in the final of the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati.
Sabalenka, 26 years old and world No. 2, he showed potential and experience. lose Emma Navarro23 years old and number 12 (will be 8th on Monday) by 6-3 and 7-6 (2) in an hour and a half. This will be his second consecutive final in New York, the fourth Grand Slam, a category in which he dominated the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024. He has won eleven games in a row.
Jessica Pegula The USA is finally taking center stage. Actress of supporting roles, she changed her career this summer. Champion in Toronto, finalist in Cincinnati, he broke the quarter-final barrier of a Grand Slam at the seventh attempt. And it went further.
Pegula, 30 years old and number 6 (will be 4th or 3rd), reacts in time against the Czech Karolina Muchova28 years old and number 52. He won 1-6, 6-4 and 6-2 in 2h.12′, raising 0-2 and 0-3 balls in the second set. From that moment, he gained consistency, extinguishing the sparks of the Central European quality, whose hand was impressive, as he showed in a good first set.
Muchova He has been out of competition for ten months after being a finalist at Roland Garros and a semifinalist at the 2023 US Open. He appeared again in June, only his seventeenth meeting of the season.
I still have a lot of filming Pegula, who relied on good results to keep Muchova from escaping, who threatened several times to turn the match around again in the third set.
