Pegula Advances After Dominant Win Over Kenin in New York

Jessica Pegula continued her US Open run with a dominant straight‑sets victory over Sofia Kenin. The match, decided 6‑3, 6‑1, lasted just 56 minutes, reinforcing Pegula’s recent form – she is 47‑12 this season and holds a 5‑2 edge over Kenin. Their previous four meetings between 2016 and 2021 often stretched to three sets, but this contest was the most straightforward, with Pegula losing fewer than eight games for the first time against Kenin. Pegula’s serve yielded just seven lost points, mirroring her earlier win over Elena‑Gabriela Rusa, and she avoided any break points entirely.
