The Miami Open semifinals saw Jessica Pegula overcome a determined Alexandra Eala, while Aryna Sabalenka cruised to victory.
Eala, the tournament’s surprise contender, pushed Pegula to three sets. Despite losing the first set in a tiebreak (6-7), Eala rallied to win the second 7-5. However, Pegula’s experience prevailed in the decisive third set (6-3), ending Eala’s impressive run.
In the other semifinal, Sabalenka dominated Jasmine Paolini, winning comfortably in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.
The final will feature a highly anticipated clash between Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula, a rematch of the US Open final. The match is scheduled for March 30th.
Notably, Alexandra Eala’s remarkable journey through the tournament sparked discussion about potential earnings from betting on her victories, with hypothetical scenarios involving reinvesting winnings being calculated.
