Noskova sails past Tararudee into US Open third round
No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula triumphed over fellow American Sofia Kenin in an impressive 56-minute match at the US Open. Pegula, the 2024 runner-up, dominated the encounter with six breaks of service and a 18-8 winner-to-error ratio. She maintained a flawless record on break points and improved her head-to-head record against Kenin to 5-2.
Pegula's victory followed a less intense previous Grand Slam clash, where she needed an upset tiebreak to advance past Kenin in the 2024 US Open second round. Despite acknowledging Kenin's reputation as a champion, Pegula remained focused on her task, breaking the latter for a 3-1 lead in the first set and eventually prevailing in a seven-game span across the two sets. Pegula will face No. 31 Leylah Fernandez, another former US Open finalist, next.
