Pegula recovers from 1-6 first set to beat Fernandez in New York

Jessica Pegula came from a set down to defeat Leylah Fernandez 1-6 6-4 6-3 in the US Open round of 32, turning around a match that had begun as a rout. The American landed only 53.8 percent of her first serves, but the ones she made were her lifeline: she won 70 percent of those points and struck five aces to Fernandez's one, with just two double faults. Fernandez was the steadier server at 63.6 percent in, yet won only 53.1 percent behind her first delivery, and her 71.4 percent on second serves could not stem the tide. Pegula moves on as one of the home hopes still standing.
