    A hometown hero will feature on Arthur Ashe centre court in the US tennis Open women's singles final


    New York-born Jessica Pegula has staged a classic comeback to reach her first career grand slam decider.

    Down a set and love-two, Pegula rallied to beat Czech Karolina Muchova 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.

    The 30 year old says her stunning victory came down to small moments.



    Pegula will play Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka in the final.
