As I had expected the Jessica Pegula and Iva Jovic match turned out to be an exciting three-set thriller.
They both have a similar game despite being 14 years apart in age. Both are very good clay court players.
Jessica Pegula took the first set 6-4. Jovic won the second set 7-5. And Pegula just won the match. 6-3 third set.
It's just amazing how Jessica Pegula continues to grind out so many deep matches and victories at 32 years old.
I was just watching it live on the Tennis Channel. I'll post highlights later on when the other semfinal match is over with.
Jessica Pegula will defend her Charleston Open Title in the Final against the Madison Keys vs. Yuliia Starodubtseva winner.
Also some other WTA news. Paula Badosa has received a main draw wild card entry for the 2026 Linz Open (WTA 500).
That event is coming up very soon. From April 6–12 in Austria. I'll be cheering for Paula Badosa to win this Tournament.
Emma Raducanu was a last minute withdraw. Paula Badosa and Mirra Andreeva were both added to the 2026 Linz Open.
The Tennis Channel just aired this important life advise from Eva Lys. I love it. I had watched the entire interview last week.
