Aryna Sabalenka, who’s just 26 years old, showed amazing skill in her semifinal match. She beat Italy’s Jasmina Paolini with a strong score of 6-2, 6-2! 😲 She never lost her serve and hit six aces (that’s when you serve the ball and the other player can’t touch it). She wrapped up the match in just over an hour.
Pegula’s Path to the Final 🏃♀️
Jessica Pegula, seeded No. 4, had a tougher match. She played against 17-year-old wild card Alexandra Eala from the Philippines. It was a close game, but Pegula won 7-6(3), 5-7, 6-3 in a match that lasted over two hours! Talk about endurance! 🥵
A Match to Remember 🔥
This final is going to be special because it’s the first time Sabalenka and Pegula will meet in a Miami Open final. Sabalenka said after her semifinal win, “I definitely say that this was one of the best matches in the season so far. I was just so focused on myself, on the things I had to do today.”
