About this episode

Jessica Pegula, the world’s No. 3 tennis star, is on a hot streak at the U.S. Open, aiming for her third straight major quarterfinal run—and she’s got a big test ahead against Canada’s Leylah Fernandez.

The match, set for Friday at 11:30 AM ET on ESPN3, could be a pivotal moment in her quest for glory. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
