In their matchup, Petra Kvitova is ahead of Pegula by a score of undefeated 2-0. Prior to winning 6-4, 6-4 in Doha last year, the Czech prevailed 6-4, 6-3 in the first match between the two at the 2020 US Open.
Prediction
No. 8 in the world Jessica Pegula defeats Yue Yuan 6-2, 6-7(6), 6-0 to advance to the round of 16 at the US Open for the first time in her career, bringing her record to 34-16 in 2022.
On the other hand, Kvitova, rallying from 2-5 in the 3rd set, saving 2 match points in a US Open outlasted Muguruza with a score of 5-7, 6-3, 7-6(10)
It is important to keep in mind that Kvitova hasn’t been taking it easy lately while formulating predictions for her. Petra defeated Erica Andreeva and Garbinier Mugurusa on the local courts by taking two of the most crucial tie-breaks. Once more, the Czech Republic’s representative fights tenaciously for every point, showing a high level of motivation. The tennis player last claimed a major championship in 2014.
Consequently, such a massive commitment is understandable. Yes, the European started to get let down by the pitch a little more frequently than before. However, she usually always has the upper hand because of her extensive playing history and aggressive attitude.
Meanwhile, Pegula also has a strong desire to take home the long-awaited prize. Jessica outplayed Alexander Sasnovich with Victoria Golubich without much adventure, although she dropped one set to Yue Yuan as a result of needless relaxation. The American continues to function primarily as the second number, entering the scene at full strength just when it matters most. That the player came forth at such a young age is regrettable. At the beginning of her career, she primarily focused on domestic rivals and futures, but there is still time to catch up.
Although Kvitova’s valiant victory over Muguruza would have given her a major confidence boost, the fluctuations in her form during the contest were worrying. She had 14 aces, but she also had up to 12 double faults, which undermined all of her hard work.
Kvitova beat Muguruza by more wins (43), but she also committed more errors (50) than the Spaniard (32). She frequently teetered on the verge of losing against the former World No. 1 due to her unwillingness to take chances.
If the left-hander suffers with consistency once more, she might find it difficult to compete with a consistent and dependable player like Pegula. In addition, the 32-year-old Czech’s energy levels would have been greatly depleted by the physical contest with Muguruza, which tips the scales in favour of the eighth seed.
On her opening serve in the third round, Pegula only dropped four points (36/40). She also managed to restrain her aggression well, turning out 35 victories to 25 unforced mistakes. The American had great play in her rematch, breaking her opponent six times out of nine chances.
Pegula is poised to defeat Kvitova for the first time in front of her home audience after exhibiting outstanding consistency at the highest level.
