Jessica Pegula Advances to China Open Semifinals
American tennis player Jessica Pegula, seeded number five, became the third representative of the United States to reach the semi-finals of the China Open. Pegula achieved this feat after coming back in a match against her compatriot Emma Navarro this Friday. After losing six set points in the first set, Pegula reacted strongly, dominating the next two sets to secure the victory with a score of 6-7 (2), 6-2, 6-1.In the next round, Pegula will face Linda Noskova, who previously defeated Briton Sonay Kartal with a score of 6-3, 6-4. Noskova, 20, became the youngest Czech player to reach a WTA 1000 tournament semi-final since this format was implemented in 2009. The other semi-final will present an American duel between the defending champion, Coco Gauff, and Amanda Anisimova, seeded number three.I told myself not to get too frustrated. Stay calm, try to relax a little and not try so hard to execute the game plan. That allowed me to play with more freedom.
