Iga Swiatek and Jessica Pegula are scheduled to face each other in the semi finals of the 2022 WTA San Diego Open on Saturday, October 15.
The Swiatek-Cori Gauff rivalry is expected to be one to watch in the coming years, with both women expected to win a few Grand Slams. Swiatek appears to have a strong mental hold on Gauff for the time being, and the American is finding it difficult to shrug. Iga Swiatek beat Gauff for the fourth time in their career, but the worst part for the American is that this was her worst loss to the world number one. Gauff won just three games this time around after losing the French Open final to Swiatek in four games on a surface that should have suited her better than Roland-Garros’ clay courts.
Jessica Pegula faced an American for the second time in a row, and she won in straight sets for the second time in a row to advance to the semifinals. She needed an hour and 34 minutes to defeat Madison Keys 6-4, 7-5 in the season’s fourth semifinal. Jessica broke Keys early in the first set and saved three break points on her way to a set victory. Pegula needed a lot more than that in the second, as she dropped her serve in the sixth game for starters before leveling things out in the seventh. Pegula then broke Keys again at 5-5, requiring four match points to secure her place against Swiatek.
