two-time

Capped 140 times and a two-time European champion, Bronze has played for the Lionesses at seven major tournaments.

But Pegula has looked back to her best during the past week and a half, sweeping aside five opponents - two of whom were two-time Grand Slam winners - in straight sets.

His counterpart, two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, was nowhere near top form.

But she faces a rejuvenated Naomi Osaka - a two-time champion - in Thursday's second semi-final.

The move wasn’t punitive, with Roberts also accounting for Monday’s off day in hopes “a two-day reset could help” the two-time All-Star.
