Wimbledon: Pegula Rallies Past Jovic To Reach Second Quarter-final
American Iva Jovic: Fourth seed Jessica Pegula recovered from a set down to defeat fellow American Iva Jovic 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 on Sunday, reaching the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the second time in her career and completing a clean sweep over the teenager across all three surfaces this season.
Pegula, who also made it to the quarter-finals at Wimbledon, has reached her second Grand Slam quarter-final of 2026. She will face either seventh seed Coco Gauff or 11th seed Belinda Bencic for a spot in the semi-finals.
This victory completed an impressive series for Pegula against Jovic this year. Before her win on Sunday, she had already beaten the rising American 6-4, 6-2 at the Dubai Tennis Championships and 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 at the Charleston Open, winning both tournaments.
