US Open Tennis: Sabalenka And Pegula Advance To Final With Hard Fought Wins

Second seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus and Jessica Pegula of USA qualify for the women's final of U.S. Open Tennis Tournament.

Aryna Sabalenka charged into her second straight U.S. Open final overcoming a late-match fight back from American Emma Navarro 6-3 and 7-6 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

The runner-up last year relied on her superior power to subdue the 13th seeded Navarro, sending over 34 winners and closing it out with a satisfying overhead smash on match point.

Sabalenka will now play Jessica Pegula in final after the American rallied to defeat Czech Republic's Karolina Muchova 1-6, 6-4 and 6-2 in the second semi-final.
