Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro: Jessica Pegula leads 6–0 across 6 recorded meetings.
The decider came down to which first serve held up. Pegula won 68 percent of her first-serve points in that set to Navarro's 44, and the 26th seed's seven break chances there produced exactly one break. The answer came inside a game. Broken in game 3 to trail 2-1, Pegula broke straight back in game 4 for 2-2 and again in game 6 for 4-2, the second time in this fortnight she has overturned a lost opening set after doing the same to Fernandez in the third round. Navarro saved one match point before the end at 2h 19m; Pegula, still unbeaten in five meetings on record, extends the run to five wins and a place in the US Open semifinals.
