–

It’s already semifinal time for the women in singles, but they’re squeezed in between some pretty marquee third-round matches on the men’s side. Which is unfortunate.

And with their doubles schedule so pushed back for reasons unknown, it’s was pretty hard for Jessica Pegula to fit in her doubles with a “not before 9 p.m.” start in her singles semifinal.

After taking care of business, she’ll have a short night before taking on a potential doubles double Friday (if she plays).
