Jessica Pegula Challenges Iga Swiatek in US Open Quarterfinals | TC Live

we are looking forward to this one taking a look at the previous six quarterfinals for Pula you see the one 2002 at the US Open against eish fiant in their last four matches it's split 2 two prash so what does Pula need to do to get over the hump and make that major semi-final well you get touched on it a little bit there the one thing that makes Jesse so tricky is she's got these nice short compact Strokes that just kind of come right at you stay nice and low EA's got that super extreme grip on that forehand side she likes the balls up here for her to be able to really go after if Jesse can keep it sort of hard fast and low in this pocket I think EA has to hit up on the ball which then allows Jesse to be more aggressive but let's not mistake at the end of the day it's Jesse's aggression and this court that's going to help her get over the line and also I think she's got to serve a high percentage of first serves too many of her second serves to EA be they be trouble comes in with more confidence than she's ever had 13 and one since returning to the North American hardcourt Chanda yeah I think you know we saw a little bit of what Pula would need to focus on against fantech in that match against Schneider the first serve she served big she was accurate she was moving the serve around the box that's something she's going to have to do against shvan get a lot of first serves in and not allow shant to attack and you know win the Battle of Court positioning in that department we also saw shiant trying to play very quickly and and get off the mark fast that's what she's going to need to do so often times you see players start to think about their next rounds they're not necessarily looking ahead they're just going through what they know they will need to do uh as they progress in the tournament and both those players with their mindsets on the other this should be a terrific matchup between the two and I give I give Pula a great shot I think she's got the edge here especially with the court beats John uh giving giving the edge to Pula what do you think yeah seriously I think Pula needs the DJ to play cotton ey Joe uh put that on YouTube last time she played uh left time she played EA that figured prly no I I think keep an eye on the scheduling I mean I think if this is in the heat of the afternoon on that fast court that will help Jesse in night match I think the balance might swing to EA cot n Joe that's that's that's Pou theme song what a moment that happen what a moment and no's call of that was the best that's coton I Joe middle of the point
