New York – On the weekend of work day, Jessica Pegula Continues to do the quick work of all the income.
Fourth pegula of talented compatriot laminate Ann Li 6-1, 6-2 to load in the quarter-finals of the US Open for the third time in the last four years.
Calling its drives from the beginning, Pegula terrorized the LI service by converting six of the nine points of rest and winning 16 of the 20 points played in the second service of its opponent.
It is Pegula’s first quarterfinal since she included IgA Swiatek to win the Bad Homburg title in the bar in June. This is the first quarterfinal of the Pegula Court since March when she overturned Anna Kalinskaya, Marta Kostyuk, Emma Raducanu and Alexandra Eala to reach the Miami Open final, where she fell at No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in a match of Flashing Meadows 2024.
How sharp has the US openist open to return her glowing meadows?
Through the four tournaments of the tournament, an efficient Pegula has allowed only 17 matches-winning four of eight groups at 6-1 or 6-0.

The difficulty rate will increase dramatically in the quarterfinals.
Next for Pegula is a quarterfinal collision against the twice the great Grand Slam Barbora Prekikova or Double World No. 1 Taylor Townsend in what should be a night match.
Li, who disturbed the 16th seed of the 16th seed and the former Gold Medal Olympic champion, Belinda Bencic in the second round, had won seven of her last eight matches, including her candidacy in the Cleveland final earlier this month. Although world no. 58 was playing some of its best tennis, Pegula produced a level that the fourth round debutant could not match today with Arthur Ase Stadium.
Pegula slammed a flat return winner of the line back down the line again for 3-0 after nine minutes of play.
Playing with blue kinesiology tape in her left thigh, Li began finding her range in the fourth match. Lighting on a first blow to the line, Li broke down to 30 to board the table.
Although Li hit 22 aces through her first three tournaments, the sneezing of a past service Pegula was almost as easy as obstructing high chair seats. Pegula poured through her third rest in a row to 4-1.
Curling a fresh crossing of the cross crossing brought the Pegula Double Set Point. Li tried to change the tempo with a slice back, but found the net in place. Pegula posted her fourth vacation to grab the 25-minute opening.
For the fourth time in its first seven groups of this US Open, Pegula allowed less than two matches in a group.
Li could not defend the second service after Pegula won 11 of the 12 points of the second service in the first set.
Beaten in the punch by Pegula, Li tried to change the rally rhythm again going to the slice, but sailed a back rear behind the starting base. Pegula marked her fifth break for a lead 3-1 second after 38 minutes.
The matching of the finalist of 2024 in a first exchange helped Li register her second direct hold for 2-4. That was Li’s last attitude.
Exploding a winner of backward return below the line, Pegula closed a 54-minute masterful win with a bang and a hug in the net.
