Pegula, Jabeur to meet in Madrid Open final

Jessica Pegula and Ons Jabeur are the last two women standing at the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open.

Playing her second consecutive WTA 1000 semifinal, 12th-seeded Jessica Pegula opened with a 3-0 lead against Jil Teichmann. The American was close to establishing a double break lead, but Teichmann then threatened to level the set to 3-3 by earning a break back. However, Pegula once again took her opponent’s serve and consolidated it with a love hold, eventually finishing the set on her third set point minutes after the clock hit midnight in Madrid.
