The windy conditions added an extra challenge, but Pegula kept her cool. \"At the end, it was really windy, so a lot of awkward points. It's tough when it's windy, playing with your nerves as well. I'm just happy I got through,\" she added. 💪
With this victory, Pegula advances to the semi-finals, where she'll face off against fourth seed Daria Kasatkina. Kasatkina herself battled back to beat Romania's Jaqueline Cristian in another epic three-setter. Get ready for more excitement! 🔥
