Pegula is on cloud nine!
Jessica Pegula is on a roll.
She's off to a blistering start on her American tour.
After successfully defending her title in Toronto last week, the current world number 6 has not stopped there.
In Cincinnati, she suffered at times, but came through every time.
After emerging victorious from an immense battle against Fernandez in the quarter-finals (7-5, 6-7, 7-6 in 3:05), Pegula mastered a Badosa who continued to confirm her comeback in the semi-finals (6-2, 3-6, 6-3).
Irresistible, she reaches the final where, in order to complete an incredible double, she will try to get the better of a Sabalenka who has also been in fine form this week.
