Pegula Dethrones Swiatek to Reach Cincinnati Final

Pegula won 13 breaks across 2 hours and 47 minutes to snap Swiatek’s 10-match win streak and reach the final.

  • On Saturday, Jessica Pegula defeated defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-5, 4-6, 6-4 to reach the final of the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Masters.
  • The three-hour semifinal featured 13 breaks across three sets as Pegula and Swiatek struggled to adjust to conditions interrupted by rain delays.

  • The victory snapped Swiatek's 10-match win streak, and Pegula will compete for the Rookwood Cup on Sunday against either Czech Sara Bejlek or Coco Gauff.
