MANILA, Philippines — Top seed Jessica Pegula staged a final-set rally to defeat Russian ninth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 and reach the final of the WTA Charleston Open clay court tournament on Saturday.
Pegula will face Sofia Kenin in Sunday’s final. Kenin advanced after semi-final opponent, eighth-seeded Amanda Anisimova, retired hurt in the first set.
Pegula, who ousted defending champion Danielle Collins in Friday’s quarter-finals, looked to be in trouble after falling 4-2 behind in the decisive set to leave Alexandrova serving for a 5-2 lead.
But Alexandrova handed Pegula a lifeline with a shaky service game, and after finding herself down 15-40, gifted her opponent a break with a double fault.
