Sept 2, 2023; Flushing, NY, USA; Jessic Pegula of the USA after beating Elina Svitolina of Ukraine on day six of the 2023 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. - REUTERSPIX: Jessica Pegula fought past Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-4 4-6 6-2 to reach the U.S. Open fourth round on Saturday and next faces compatriot Madison Keys as the American buzz continued to build heading into the second week of the year’s final Grand Slam.
Not since 2002 when Pete Sampras and Serena Williams were crowned U.S. Open champions have Americans hoisted both trophies but, with Pegula, Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe all top 10 seeds and in the last 16, the chance will be there. After straight set romps in her first two matches, Pegula received her first test in the form of gritty veteran Svitolina, a U.S. Open semi-finalist in 2019.In the second it was Svitolina finally getting her first break chance and making the most of the opportunity to pull level.
The last time Flushing Meadows had a chance to celebrate a homegrown women’s champion was in 2017 when Sloane Stephens beat Keys in an all-American final.
