However, Alexandrova's power game clicked into gear in the second set, where she had 15 winners to Pegula's four, WTA reports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the decisive third set, Alexandrova double-faulted an early break away, putting the set at a 3-3 deadlock. However, the 29-year-old Russian took another opportunity two games later, moving ahead with aggressive returns and finishes in the forecourt to break Pegula for 5-4. She then converted her second match point to seal the comeback victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Alexandrova, the last player into the final four, will face the last remaining American Danielle Collins on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Collins reached the semifinals with a straight-sets win over Caroline Garcia earlier on the day. To reach her first final at this level, she'll have to defeat No.14 Alexandrova in Thursday's semifinals.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
