 Egas Friyantek vs. Jessica Pagula is the third quarterfinal for the ladies US Open for 2022. And both players are about to fight to get to the quarterfinal stage. Pagula started the tournament off as the number 8 seed and will take on the qualifier Golovic in the first round. And this was no trouble for Pagula, winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-2. In the second round she take on Sastnovic, the unseeded Belarusian. And again, this would be no problem for Pagula, winning in straight sets 6-4, 6-4. In the third round she take on the qualifier Yuan, who had been very impressive to get to this stage. And after dropping the second set, Pagula would bagel her qualifier opponent in the final set 6-2, 6-7, 6-love. In the fourth round she take on the 21st seed Kviteva, who she had struggled with in the past. But she didn't struggle this time, eventually prevailing in straight sets 6-3, 6-2 to get to the US Open quarterfinal. Friyantek started the tournament off as the number 1 seed and will take on the Italian Paulini in the first round. This was no trouble for Friyantek, getting through in straight sets 6-3, 6-love. In the second round she take on former US Open champion Sloane Stevens. And after a close first set, Friyantek got through in straights 6-3, 6-2. In the third round she take on Davis, the unseeded American, who had just taken out the 28th seed Alexandrova. And after an easy first set, Friyantek had to fight from 4-1 down to get the second, eventually getting through in straight 6-3, 6-4. In the fourth round she take on the unseeded German Niemeyer, who had a very impressive run at Wimbledon only a few months ago. And after dropping the first set, Friyantek had to battle in her toughest match yet, getting through in 3, 2-6, 6-4, 6-love to get to her first US Open quarterfinal. These two have played three times before with Friyantek leading the head-to-head 2-1 with their two previous meetings going to Friyantek. And they're actually this year during the Friyantek streak. If Pagula's going to win, she needs to block out the fact that she's lost the last two and she has to use the crowd to her advantage. Friyantek hasn't been playing that great and that added pressure of maybe a biased crowd could push Friyantek over the edge. And Pagula, being very solid, needs to stay as solid as she has been over the last couple of matches. If Friyantek's going to win, she needs to play better. She's been playing against low-ranked players, not as well as she could have, and she's getting away with it because of their ranking. Can't be doing that against a fellow top 10 player. She needs to play better. The 4A needs to work, so does the backhand and also the serve. Been really messy for Friyantek so far. This is going to be a very fun matchup, but I'm going to go with Friyantek. I feel like three sets Friyantek. I don't know if Pagula's going to be able to get the job done. She's been very consistent this year. Quarterfinals, finals, semifinals, making it to the second week of events. But Friyantek's the best player on the planet and that head-to-head is very concerning. Friyantek in three sets for me. What do you reckon down in the comments? Who's going to win this match?
