Iga Swiatek vs. Jessica Pegula Condensed Match | 2024 US Open Quarterfinal

mentioned in the war Jess is trying to get over [Applause] 150 shant particularly on that forehand Wing decent start asking a few questions and an early opportunity here we go we got a look at Mark you talking Bahamas of course both her coaches are from the Bahamas mark one of best guys in tennis believe it's his birthday today also no we've started on time which hasn't been the case a couple of the night sessions so we need those fans inside if you're a j poua supporter good startop good St hand and the backand among the lowest out on tour it's the forehand of ego [Applause] in the spring in the French Capital earlier this year 21 victories use Pula on the flip side imperative she gets a lot of first serves in [Applause] love 48 hours or so I know you two on this broadcast are very happy for Jack Draper been a good afternoon yeah success American success might help this evening absolutely one thing this generation is we very close a great return here we go two more chances to break 15 14 and finding some joy and Laura don't you think that this is three love double break love at [Applause] 15 but certainly easier to play aggressive tennis you believe nice quick eagers wi to un for hour so far zero winners un early stages check again when you see those those sort of numbers against the Polish player assume the stats have gone Haywire but [Applause] 141 it's like there's a bit of stubbornness there to say oh let me just keep going for the same shot just defraction well didn't miss my much Advantage [Applause] for first win on the balls how's your polish uh poor Laura's pretty good at though right yeah we're relying on Laura I wish I had something to tell you sadly not but she has all this ability and skill to slow things down and and to create some different depths and Pace turn game so Shion eventually gets both matches 15 30 [Applause] the best return as yet 14 stay in this game but perhaps too little too late game and she this fabulous St continues five against one [Applause] forch 15 love and just that's a nice combination in the hope that her opponent would then go crosscourt back to her forehand side and then she could dictate but I think this particular matchup Jess really enjoys running onto the open stance for hand and redirecting the power [Applause] 40 15 she's got her sunnies on she's in Incognito the first signs of a bit of frustration after a poor overhead game that she has worked tirelessly on is the movement and already paying off in this match she's getting shots back into play that she wasn't making back into play a year or two ago under 40% game gets away with the hold though get things back to 52 still alive in this first set but aula Pula leads five games to two for sets confidence of Love 15 [Applause] 13 [Music] [Applause] 15 14 15 another miss that just don't expect to come off for that b recognizing the moment set points tennis for Jessica game to 15 love keep eye that first serve number 30 [Applause] 40 love better start was essential SCE only winner on the ball game shed chess poua hoping to become third americ into the semi-finals of the major for the first time in her career 15 a chance of course Lindy will have ladies in the semi-finals we've had a trivia from our good friend Robbie Koenig okay when was the last time for the US Open I'm asking you that's there's the clue okay let's go back 04 how close 2003 shoot you're one of those four players who were the two men I think3 was so could be a significant evening for American tennis game the so we have an American women's champion just 12 months ago Coco goof started the tournament as defending champion such as the the strengthning depth American tennis that even after Coco lost to himar the Americans just deep still spraying the ground [Applause] [Applause] strokes she does work again another M ground stroke the leads two G one here's the break early in the second got away with it but how often in your life have you seen ego inside in backand that's more like it the sort of quity we used to back in her corner commun with Thomas not sure I've ever seen EA play a match where Daria has been this quiet hasn't been a word from first break points she's held all match 15 saved incredible B from both two down one to go one more chance for Tech to break in this fourth game the has made it and she does break 15 left cou of times I think we've seen some BS in the crowd we just pop up very briefly spting royalty so many superstars VIPs I love my Olympians they just show Wade on the big screen as well at the change over I don't think I know his actual name drop shot let change up something [Applause] [Applause] different fabulous step a shame because again the return the highest quality game sh keep things on track here set number two under a bit more pressure all of a sudden 15 love slightly I I think we still have a way to go from what we're used to again just incredible defense from Jess when I feel more relaxed watching her as well 14 love game three love 15 [Music] 15 all 30 15 [Applause] oh CH spped in time great quality from both beautiful again well inside the Baseline with chat contact and again direction to make her first serve more in this second set her speeds are way down average first serve speed in in this match well below average first serve speed of the tournament for can Pula take advantage survives for now Advantage for oh you have to give chant an awful lot of credit there didn't do too much wrong Pulu did she Shan stepping up like the world number one on a couple of huge points she did so at the two- all game and doing it again here in this seventh game I think we all held our breath on the bounce smash yeah this is good quality [Applause] stanch just sitting on her forehand side for me just slightly too far there I feel like Jess has been able to expose her really well when she goes forehand line here we go another chance Advantage good and there's the break 15 out halfway there in terms [Applause] of 13 15 1450 [Applause] game another step [Applause] closer love little bit closer perfect start 15 [Applause] all 15 biggest win of her career 30 [Applause] 14 just the first signs of a bit of tension the missed for Hampton Game Center make sure she [Applause] holds perfect starts one down three to go down Jessica pula's way right now goodness made what a [Applause] gift almost 4 [Applause] first up sa 14 15 another sa goodness me inside this place thought that fiance could pull that back out wide for a moment but ice cool from the five-time major Champion one more chance goes right and Jessica Pula is a grand slam semifinalist one a night for the American goodness me it was tense towards the end terrific job of holding a nerve and she's into the final four at a home ground slam [Music]
