By IANS News January 28, 2026 • 12:38 PM View: 547

Jessica Pegula finally broke her Melbourne ceiling on Wednesday, defeating fellow American Amanda Anisimova 6-2, 7-6(1) at Rod Laver Arena to secure a first-ever Australian Open semifinal berth.

The World No. 6 delivered an authoritative performance in the all-American quarterfinal, prevailing in an hour and 35 minutes to continue her strong run against compatriots at the Grand Slam level. The victory sends Pegula into the last four of a major for the third time in her career and for the first time outside the US Open, where she will next face Elena Rybakina.
