Azarenka is made to work hard to win the next point but manages to do so when Pegula hits long. Tumaini had an interesting chat with Pegula before this year’s event began, in which she chatted about her up-and-down path to the top and being one of the more materially privileged players on the tour. Azarenka secures the hold when Pegula nets. Pegula saves this one too with a forehand at the net. The first is saved after a gruelling slogfest ends in a fierce forehand from the American, and the second by a fine driving volley from the encroaching Pegula. But the American continue to err with back-of-court attempted winners and sends two long in a row, and Azarenka forces another break point with a strong return to the corner. She dominates the next point too with more smart volleying to gain two more set points. Pegula breaks back in her most impressive game of the match so far, her range of shots more to the fore. Azarenka sends an awry forehand wide, and a booming serve down the middle takes Pegula to 30-0. Pegula is returning better than she’s serving and a nice if risky little dink over the net brings her the first point before losing the next with a netted forehand. It’s taken at the first opportunity after Azarenka outpoints Pegula from the back of the court. I executed my game plan really well and I’m so proud to be in a semi-final of another grand slam.
