Pegula reaches at Guadalajara final

Agency :
Third seed Jessica Pegula overcame a sluggish start to breeze past Victoria Azarenka 7-6(3), 6-1 on Saturday and make the final of the Guadalajara Open, where she will meet Greek fourth seed Maria Sakkari or Czech Marie Bouzkova.
The 28-year-old American, chasing her second career title, found herself in an early hole to the Belarusian former world number one as Azarenka sealed the early break on the way to a 3-0 lead in the opening set. But Pegula would soon find her rhythm, breaking back to send the set to a tie-break, which she took 7-3.
Having let the first set slip away Azarenka unravelled while Pegula stepped up her play, breaking the two-times Australian Open champion twice as she steamrolled through the second to reach her second final of the year. “I feel really excited, really happy about my performance today. Happy the way I hung in that first set and was still able to win it,” Pegula, who also reached the final in Madrid this year, told reporters.
