SYDNEY, Dec 30 ― Petra Kvitova upset world number three Jessica Pegula Friday, but the United States still won their United Cup tie against the Czech Republic in Sydney.
But the US clinched the tie when Tomas Machac injured his ankle against 19th-ranked Francis Tiafoe and was forced to retire hurt while down 6-3, 2-4. “It was a high-level match for a solid two hours, it got kind of physical towards the end,” said Pegula. The Czech Republic will face Alexander Zverev’s Germany on Saturday while the US have two days off before they close out group play against the Germans.
“Tonight I had a great level,” he added. “I’m super-happy with how I’m playing. I had to play aggressive and push him at every opportunity.”
