American tennis star Jessica Pegula has voiced her aspirations to reach the Miami Open final for the first time in her career. This comes after her successful advancement to the semi-finals of the WTA 1000 event in Miami, USA. Pegula has reached this stage twice before, in 2022 and 2023, but faced defeats against Iga Swiatek of Poland and Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, respectively.
In the semi-finals, Pegula is set to face Alexandra Eala of the Philippines, currently ranked world No. 140.
Following her quarter-final victory, Pegula commented, `I love playing here, I enjoy competing at home, and I like winning at the Dolphins stadium. I`m really hoping my third time in the semi-finals will be the charm. I`m determined to make it to the final, and I`ll be giving it my all tomorrow.`
