QUEBEC: American qualifier Jessica Pegula upset fifth seed Sofia Kenin 4-6 6-2 6-4 at Quebec City on Saturday to reach her first WTA final. Pegula will meet eighth seed Pauline Parmentier in Sunday’s final after the French player rallied past Britain’s Heather Watson 5-7 6-3 7-6(5) in the other semi-final, claiming the tiebreaker by winning the last three points. Pegula, 24, served 10 aces and broke her younger America compatriot five times. “I’ve been playing a lot of tournaments lately, so I have been getting a lot of match play, and been doing pretty well, but this is probably the most amount of matches in a row,” Pegula told reporters. Pegula had already beaten Kristyna Pliskova, Ons Jabeur and second seed Petra Martic to reach the semi-final. Published in Daily Times, September 17th 2018.
