Despite this setback, she showed great determination and fought hard to win the second set.

However, she couldn't be able to maintain her performance in the final set as Pegula known for her consistency and strong gameplay on the WTA Tour, regained control and won the match.

After winning the match, the 31-year-old player shared, "It was tough. I just wanted to come out in the third set really strong, really quick, and jump on her."

Pegula is now set to face 19-year-old Alexandra Eala from the Philippines in the semi-finals on Friday.

Eala secured her spot in this match by defeating five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek on Wednesday.
