Pegula was also in trouble as she had a match point denied in the tenth game of the decider, but ran away in the breaker, sprinting out to a 5-1 lead and closing out the match on a forehand wide from her compatriot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pegula was a semifinalist here a year ago, but was made to work hard throughout the second-round clash, winning just four of 15 break point opportunities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 30-year-old American will meet Magda Linette in the third round after the 32-year-old Pole rallied from a first-set bagel to beat Dayana Yastremska across three sets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pegula\u2019s fellow seeded American Madison Keys wasn\u2019t as lucky, falling in three sets to Romania\u2019s Jaqueline Cristian, who claimed just her second career win over a Top 20 foe with a 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 upset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Tuesday afternoon, the freshly minted Miami Open champion Danielle Collins throttled Paula Badosa 6-1, 6-4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She\u2019ll play No.2 seed Ons Jabeur in an appealing second-round match Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
It was another disappointment for Badosa, who is now 5-7. She missed the last six months of 2023 with a spinal stress fracture of the L4 vertebrae and has also dealt with calf and adductor injuries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/04\/top-seed-pegula-overcomes-anisimova-in-charleston-collins-also-prevails.jpg", "alt_img": "Top seed Pegula overcomes Anisimova in Charleston; Collins also prevails", "alt_title": "Top seed Pegula overcomes Anisimova in Charleston; Collins also prevails", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Top Seed Pegula Overcomes Anisimova In Charleston; Collins Also Prevails On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Top Seed Pegula Overcomes Anisimova In Charleston; Collins Also Prevails, American Amanda Anisimova: The top seed and world No.5 Jessica Pegula survived a three-set thriller against fellow American Amanda Anisimova,.", "seo_keywords": "Jessica Pegula, American Amanda Anisimova, Magda Linette, Dayana Yastremska, American Madison Keys, Jaqueline Cristian, On Tuesday, Miami Open, Danielle Collins, Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur", "tag": "", "tagging": "Jessica Pegula, American Amanda Anisimova, Magda Linette, Dayana Yastremska, American Madison Keys, Jaqueline Cristian, On Tuesday, Miami Open, Danielle Collins, Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "top-seed-pegula-overcomes-anisimova-in-charleston-collins-also-prevails", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1006", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-04-03 10:32:03", "updated": "2024-04-03 10:32:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Jessica Pegula, American Amanda Anisimova, Magda Linette, Dayana Yastremska, American Madison Keys, Jaqueline Cristian, On Tuesday, Miami Open, Danielle Collins, Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-04-03 10:32:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "tennis", "cnmid": "886402", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/top-seed-pegula-overcomes-anisimova-in-charleston-collins-also-prevails-14345" }
