Pegula Powers Through to Charleston Semis After Comeback Win Over Collins

Posted : 05 April 2025

World No. 4 Jessica Pegula made a remarkable comeback to defeat defending champion Danielle Collins 1-6, 6-3, 6-0 and advance to the semifinals of the WTA clay court tournament in Charleston, South Carolina.

 

 Pegula found herself trailing 6-1, 2-0 but fought back to win 10 of the last 13 games, including the final nine to close out the match. Reflecting on the match, Pegula acknowledged Collins' strong start but credited her ability to regroup and play better tennis in the second set.

 

The key to Pegula’s turnaround was mixing up her shots and improving her serve placement. She explained how Collins had been hitting winners off her serve early on, making it difficult to gain control. “I had to figure out a way to get my placement a little bit better,” Pegula said, focusing on serving smartly to break Collins’ momentum.

 

Pegula will next face Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova, who also made her way to the semifinals with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Paris Olympics gold medallist Zheng Qinwen. Alexandrova saved all three break points she faced and converted three of her five opportunities, continuing her strong form this season.

 

In other action, former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin reached the semifinals with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Anna Kalinskaya, and she will play eighth seed Amanda Anisimova, who defeated Emma Navarro in straight sets.
