Pegula Holds Off Sakkari In Montreal; Anisimova, Raducanu Set Up Third-round Meeting

By IANS News July 31, 2025 • 09:58 AM View: 324

Former World No: Two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula won her 11th straight match at the Canadian Open, taking down Maria Sakkari in two close sets in the second round.

Pegula pulled off a daring first-set escape as she fended off five set points at 5-4 in the opening set and collected a 7-5, 6-4 win over Sakkari.

Pegula converted all five of her break points on Wednesday, becoming the first woman to win 11 straight matches at this event since Serena Williams reeled off 14 straight between 2011 and 2014.
