Jessica Pegula, daughter of Buffalo Bills owners Kim and Terry Pegula, fell to fellow American Jennifer Brady in the Australian Open semifinals on Wednesday in Melbourne.
Pegula won the first set, 6-4, in the first set that Brady had lost so far throughout the tournament.
But Pegula was unable to secure the advantage from there, as Brady recovered to win the next two sets, 6-2, 6-1, to close the match and advance to the semifinals.
It was Pegula’s first Grand Slam appearance in the quarterfinals.
Pegula defeated Victoria Azarenka, twice Australian Open champion, and Elina Svitolina, No. 5, to reach the quarterfinals against Brady.
Brady will face Karolina Muchova in a semifinal with Serena Williams facing Naomi Osaka on the other side of the bracket.
