With Jessica Pegula having come from 2-0 down to take a 4-2 lead late in the third set of her semifinal against compatriot Iva Jovic on Friday, Tennis Channel commentator Brett Haber put it best:<\/p>\n
\u201cJust another day at the three-set office.\u201d<\/p>\n
Charleston:\u00a0Scores<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Draws<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Order of play<\/a><\/p>\n That about sums up Pegula\u2019s week in Charleston, where she has won four straight three-setters, culminating in Saturday\u2019s 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 win over Jovic in 2 hours and 35 minutes. The victory sends her to her second consecutive Charleston final as she looks to defend her title against the winner of the second semifinal between Madison Keys and Yuliia Starodubtseva.<\/p>\n The result also improves her record to 10-1 in three-set matches this season and gives her a 23rd win of 2026, tying her with Aryna Sabalenka for the most at the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz level this year.<\/p>\n More to come\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With Jessica Pegula having come from 2-0 down to take a 4-2 lead late in the third set…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":513154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[101,118,1602,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-513153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-tennis","10":"tag-text","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
