Top seed Jessica Pegula staged a brilliant comeback to keep her title hopes alive at the WTA Charleston Open, rallying from a set and a break down to oust defending champion Danielle Collins 1-6, 6-3, 6-0 in a dramatic quarterfinal clash on Friday.
Collins, known for her aggressive baseline game, came out firing, overwhelming Pegula to take the first set in just 33 minutes and breaking early in the second to go up 2-0. But Pegula showed resilience and composure, adjusting her tactics to turn the match on its head. “That was tough,” Pegula admitted after the win. “She came out firing. I was not ready for that at all.”
