Pegula, Paul Dominate to Reach Adelaide Semifinals

Posted : 09 January 2025

Top seeds Jessica Pegula and Tommy Paul made strong strides toward the Australian Open semifinals with dominant victories in the Adelaide International on Thursday. Pegula, the world No. 7 and last year's US Open finalist, won her quarterfinal match against Ashlyn Krueger, who retired while trailing 6-4, 2-0 due to fatigue after a demanding schedule.

 

Pegula, who had partnered with Krueger in doubles earlier in the week, was aware of her opponent's exhaustion but still acknowledged the impressive tennis Krueger had been playing.

 

Pegula’s next challenge will be Yulia Putintseva, who overcame world No. 13 Diana Shnaider in a hard-fought match lasting more than three hours, winning 7-6 (7/3), 6-7 (9/11), 6-4.

 

Meanwhile, Liudmila Samsonova secured a significant victory, defeating second seed Emma Navarro 6-4, 6-4 for her first top-10 win in over a year. Samsonova will next face Madison Keys, who upset third seed Daria Kasatkina 6-1, 6-3.

 

In the men’s draw, Tommy Paul reached his second consecutive Adelaide semifinal, defeating Rinky Hijikata 6-3, 6-4. Paul will meet Canadian fifth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who defeated Marcos Giron 7-6 (7/3), 6-3.

 

Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic also advanced with a 6-2, 6-3 win over French qualifier Benjamin Bonzi, and he will face American second seed Sebastian Korda, who received a walkover after Thanasi Kokkinakis withdrew due to injury.
