Buffalo native Jessica Pegula has the chance to win the first Grand Slam title of the year on Saturday.

Pegula, who is currently ranked sixth in the world, will face second-seeded Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the US Open tennis tournament.

Pegula caught up and defeated Karolina Muchova 1:6, 6:4 and 6:2 in the semifinals on Thursday.

The 30-year-old admitted that she was initially overwhelmed on Thursday evening.

“I came out completely floored. She made me look like a rookie,” Pegula said on ESPN. “I was about to burst into tears. She wore me out and I found a way, found some adrenaline, found my legs and then I started playing the way I wanted to play. It took a while, but I honestly don’t know how I changed that.”

Now Pegula, the daughter of Kim and Terry Pegula, is facing the biggest match of her career. Pegula has never reached this far in a Grand Slam before and has lost in the quarterfinals six times in the last four years.

DirecTV customers may miss the US Open final

For 11 million DirecTV subscribers, many channels were cut off on Sunday as the current five-year contract between DirecTV and Disney, which calls for Disney content to be broadcast on DirecTV’s satellite and streaming services, including U-Verse TV, ended on Sunday, September 1. Talks reached an impasse and DirecTV shut down all Disney channels.

Without a new contract, DirecTV viewers could miss ESPN’s coverage of the U.S. Open tennis, which culminates this week.

“The US Open tennis tournament will be streamed live on ESPN+,” a DirecTV spokesperson said Tuesday. “Disney typically streams the same action live on ESPN.com and its ESPN app, but Disney has blocked that access as well. The company is in the process of removing access to its network-specific websites and apps for all consumers in an effort to attract more consumers to its streaming video services, such as ESPN+, Disney+ and Hulu.”

DirecTV subscribers can get a $20 credit for blocking Disney/ESPN: How to claim

DirecTV recommends its subscribers to visit: the balance.

“We are pursuing every avenue to get your channel back. As a thank you for your patience, we are offering you a bill credit until the situation is resolved,” DirecTV says on its website.

The site requires customers to enter their DirecTV service (e.g. DirecTV, DirecTV Stream or U-verse) and their zip code.

Next, the site prompts users to “Explore Bill Credits.” Customers must select whether they are subscribing through DirecTV by satellite or DirecTV by internet. Users are then directed to another page where you can enter the email address associated with your account.

According to the website, the $20 credit will be granted in up to two billing cycles.
