Current WTA World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka did not need any more incentive to play well in the 2026 US Open semifinals. She is losing her ranking next week to Elena Rybakina and chasing a three-peat at this year's US Open.
Jessica Pegula seemed a bit off her game, despite going toe-to-toe with Sabalenka in the first set. Her demeanor was a bit flat, perhaps this was her game face. Little separated the two in the first set, but Sabalenka the excellent front runner ran away with it in the second set.
MORE: Robin Montgomery, Ashlyn Krueger, former US Open girls doubles champions, advance to 2026 women's final
Some social media tennis fans speculated that Pegula was under the weather.
It was not what fans are used to seeing in her demeanor.
