Pegula rallied from a break down in the deciding ‌set to defeat six-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek in her semi-final.

World No 3 Pegula and seventh seed Swiatek traded breaks early in ​the opening set before rain briefly interrupted play with the score level at 1-1.

Swiatek ‌clawed her way back, breaking to level at 4-4 before moving ahead, but with the set locked at 5-5, Pegula capitalised ​on a Swiatek double fault to break for 6-5 before the Pole sent the simplest of smashes into the net to hand Pegula the opener.

Pegula refused to fade after Swiatek moved 3-1 ahead in the decider. The American levelled at 4-4, earned the decisive break in the ‌next game and then served out for a memorable victory.

"It was a really tough match. She (Swiatek) is in great form. To beat someone who is such a great athlete like Iga in the semis and to make it to another 1000 final, it's ⁠awesome," Pegula said.

She will face Gauff in the final after the two-time Grand Slam winner made light work of unseeded Czech ​Bejlek in the last four.

The 20-year-old had stunned world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka and Madison Keys en route to booking her first WTA 1000 semi-final spot.

Gauff proved superior in the opening set, earning a 4-1 lead after breaking serve early on.

However, Bejlek managed to stay in contention and level at 4-4. It wouldn't be enough to stop the 22-year-old, however, who broke serve again before closing out the set.

Gauff then broke twice more in the second set, capitalising on a catalogue of Bejlek unforced ​errors to seal victory in 76 minutes.

Frenchman Fils produced a commanding ‌67-minute display to sweep aside seventh seed Flavio Cobolli ‌6-3 6-4 on Saturday and secure his ​place in the men's final in Cincinnati.

The 21st seed recovered ​quickly after Cobolli broke for ‌a 2-1 lead, breaking straight back to level ​at 2-2.

With the opening set locked at 3-3, Fils improved his performance ​to take a 4-3 lead ⁠before breaking decisively ⁠in the eighth game as Cobolli misfired from the ‌baseline.

Fils, who won the Barcelona Open in April, maintained his momentum in the ‌second set, breaking serve in the opening game.

Cobolli held to love at 4-3 to keep the pressure on but ⁠Fils proved superior, dictating play ​with sharp forehands to ​gain a 5-4 lead and ultimately ​clinch victory, having scored 22 winners ⁠and six aces.

"I was very happy with the performance," Fils said. "I started pretty slow. I was a bit tight, but I think from 4-3 in the first set when I won those long rallies, just the momentum came my way and I felt so much better."

Fils has risen 10 spots to No 11 in the ATP live rankings as a result of his run to the final, where he will face Tiafoe after he beat fellow American ​Brandon Nakashima 7-5 6-3 in their semi-final..

The pair traded four consecutive breaks before drawing level at 3-3 in the opening set, ​but Tiafoe held to love in the seventh game and broke again to move 6-5 ahead before serving out the set.

The 27-year-old broke Nakashima for a 3-2 lead in the second set ‌and would go on to clinch victory with another impressive hold to love.

The Australian's new side took an early lead, and tries from Jack Welsby, Shane Wright, Jacob Douglas, Tom Humphreys and Tristan Sailor made it 30-0 before the break.

Captain Jackson Hastings had added five goals, but lost his cool and was sent off after an altercation with Tyler Dupree for violent conduct.

Dupree was sin-binned for the same incident, and tempers continued to flare as the teams disappeared down the tunnel for the break.

Nene McDonald added a sixth try for the hosts after the break, making a Castleford comeback look increasingly unlikely.

Louis Senior and Laulu-Togaga'e finally got them on the board, before Saints finished the game with 10 men after Alex Walmsley and Chris Matagi were both sent to the sin bin.

St Helens interim boss Eamon O'Carroll told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I said I wanted to see the attitude of the players, and what better way to display that than when you go down to 10 men for 45 minutes?

"The players were fantastic. We simplified a few things, which probably helped, because everyone knew what the role was and their position."

Commenting on Hastings' dismissal, Castleford director of rugby Chris Chester told Sky Sports: "Scott Murrell just jumped (in the way of Dupree). We all know the rules, you can't punch people in the face.

"We'll let the disciplinary (match review panel) deal with those kinds of things. That's what they're there for."

Hull KR slump to another home defeat

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

Hull KR slumped to a second home defeat of the week as Toulouse ran out deserved 32-12 winners following a ruthless second half at Craven Park.

The Robins were beaten at home by play-off rivals Warrington on Tuesday night, and head coach Willie Peters dropped both Tevita Pangai Junior and Mikey Lewis following their upcoming bans which were handed out in the wake of the 34-28 defeat against the Wolves.

It was a scrappy start - much to the frustration of the expectant Hull KR fans - as Toulouse dug in during the opening 20 minutes and then exerted some control before Mathieu Jussaume scored the opening try on the half-hour when he broke through down the right.

The defending champions, chasing a home play-off berth, finally sparked into life when substitute Elliot Minchella went over in the 35th minute after a surging run by Peta Hiku, with Rhyse Martin adding the extras to make it 6-6 heading into half-time.

Toulouse opted to kick for a penalty early in the second half after a late tackle from Tom Amone, but Cesar Rouge saw his 35-metre attempt bounce off the crossbar.

Hull KR continued to be pushed back and Toulouse deservedly did get themselves in front again after 57 minutes when Benjamin Laguerre burst down the left and fed Romeo Tropis to go on to touch down under the sticks.

Toulouse further extended their advantage when Anthony Marion got on the end of a kick through and barged over, with the try given following a lengthy video review which showed the ball had been grounded after Hull KR initially had looked to have held him up.

Hull KR, who face leaders Wigan next week, crumbled again when Paul Ulberg was played into space down the left corner after 65 minutes before Tropis burst clear through down the other channel. Luke Polselli added another late scrappy Toulouse try after a kick bounced off the post and Louix Gorman got a consolation score for the home side in the closing stages with a fast break down the left.

Arthur's late drop goal seals Hull fightback

Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player

Hull half-back Jake Arthur landed a late drop goal to seal his side's thrilling fightback as they beat Catalans Dragons 27-26 at the Gilbert Brutus Stadium.

Arthur coolly slotted over a match-winning one-pointer with six minutes left to clinch Hull victory over former boss John Cartwright's Catalans and just their second win in 10 Super League games.

Hull trailed 26-14 early in the second half, but came storming back through converted tries from Harvie Hill and Aidan Sezer to tie the scores before Arthur's match-winning effort.

The visitors led through early tries from Logan Moy and Lewis Martin and led 14-12 at half-time after Catalans had hit back through touchdowns from Charlie Staines and Kruise Leeming.

Catalans appeared to take control of the match when Edenn Rogers-Smith and Leo Darrelatour both went over early in the second period, either side of Guillermo Aispuro-Bichet's penalty, to put them 26-14 ahead.

But Hull launched their fightback as Hill and Sezer both went over for converted scores in the space of six minutes and Arthur had the final word.

Hull have climbed up one place to 11th in the table, while Catalans sit ninth after their 15th defeat of the season.

Hull interim head coach Andy Last said: "It was a nail-biting game, it went right down to the wire. I'm just really proud of the playing group.

"I spoke all week about showing our personality and our performance when it gets tough and to make sure you answer those questions with your effort and your actions."

Warwickshire completed a thrilling one-wicket win against Sussex at Edgbaston to climb up to second in Division One.

United were outfought and outplayed by a Hull side widely tipped to return to the Sky Bet Championship this season at the MKM Stadium, with two goals from set pieces giving the Tigers a richly deserved victory and their first over United in more than half a century.

The loss punctured the optimism around Old Trafford at the start of Carrick's first full season in charge.

He had picked up more points than anyone else since returning to the club in January and had overseen the arrival of Andre Santos and Youri Tielemans - with Carlos Baleba likely to follow - before a shock defeat to a Hull side missing as many as eight first-team players brought things crashing back to earth.

Despite losing 63 per cent of their duels and two thirds of their headers in a first half where Hull scored both their goals, Carrick said: "We did some good things today and it will get lost. We have to find answers but because we lose one game, it doesn't mean everything needs dissecting."

He added to TNT Sport: "Some of it was OK, there's bits to improve on. It was never going to be perfect, but going behind and giving ourselves a lot to do makes it more difficult.

"It was a typical one of those games, with a newly-promoted team at home. You can't give them much, they've got a lot to hold on to.

"After that, we had moments and opportunities but we didn't have the spark to put the chances away or create any more. We're bitterly disappointed with the result, but we won't let it knock us."

Captain Bruno Fernandes struck a more critical tone of his team-mates and said he had seen it all before as United were punished for their lack of aggression and intensity.

"It was the same mistakes we made last season, every away game we give too much of the ball to the opponent," he told TNT Sport.

"In the first 20 minutes, their goalkeeper was the one with the most touches.

"We needed to press more, be more aggressive, and then again we need to work on set-plays and not concede these type of goals.

"Against these types of teams, they are waiting for that moment. We knew before the game set-pieces would be a big part of their game."

Your views on Hull defeat

Jay: "Carrick under pressure straight away. Eddie Howe anyone?"

Marek: "The job is too big for Carrick, he did a great job at the end of last season but Utd need a proven winner in charge."

JB75: "It was quite obvious we need a strong centre back, left back and striker to support when Sesko is not available. Cunha was playing so deep at times going into a midfield that was 5 deep with Hull. And the midfield just didn't seem to have the legs, not a convincing start."

Big Dave: "Same old United, no paces, lack of movement, and a total lack of effort, shocking performance, seems like nothing has changed at United."

Analysis: Hull's tactics worked but this was about fight, and United's lack of it

Sky Sports' Ron Walker:

"Hull nailed their set-up with a back five too physical for Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, and wing-backs in Lewie Coyle and Ryan Giles who served target man Oli McBurnie well.

"But this was about fight and spirit over anything on Sergej Jakirovic's tactics board. Winning almost two thirds of both their duels and headers before the break was just reward for the intensity, energy and belief they brought to the game - and United did not match it.

"It was inevitable that the Tigers would be fired up after riding the wave of promotion, but it felt as though Michael Carrick's side hadn't realised. They failed to do the basics right and were punished.

"A video of McBurnie dribbling around a static Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans will rightly do the rounds on social media tonight.

"People may point to a lack of quality in the Man Utd side but without the hunger and desire to do those basics, it would have made little difference." %!s()
