Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova will square it off on Thursday for the right to play in the women’s singles finals of the 2024 US Open Championship at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens, New York. After numerous quarterfinal finishes, Pegula has finally reached the final four of a Grand Slam tournament after putting together a masterful win over world’s No.1 Iga Swiatek 6-2, 6-4. Pegula won 77 percent of her first serves and broke Swiatek four times. Wednesday’s shocking result gave the American her 14th victory in 15 matches during the North American hard-court season. Muchova has stayed scatheless entering the semifinal round after scoring another straight-set win over Beatriz Haddad Maia 6-1 6-4 in their quarterfinal match on Wednesday. Muchova converted 78 percent of her first serves into points and completed four breakpoint opportunities to keep Maia at bay throughout the match. The Czech has reached the semifinal of the US Open for two consecutive years after also making a final-four stint in 2023.
