While Pegula came in with the better form but more scar tissue. She had won the Canadian Open and reached the final of Cincinnati. But had priorly lost in six major Quarter-Finals. But produced a shock win 6-2, 6-4 setting up a clash with Karolina Muchova in the last four.
Swiatek though let her emotions out as she often does with a video in the players room making it to social media where she was seen wiping away the tears and visibly struggling to cope with defeat.
