Pegula, Rybakina Power Into Miami Open QF With Dominant Wins
Miami Open QF: Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina delivered commanding performances to book their places in the Miami Open quarterfinals, each cruising through their matches in straight sets at Hard Rock Stadium.
Fifth seed Pegula was first on court and produced a highly efficient display against Jaqueline Cristian. The American dominated on serve, not facing a single break point, while capitalising on four of her 13 break chances to secure a 6-4, 6-1 victory in just over an hour.
The win not only improved Pegula’s head-to-head record against Cristian to 2-0, but also marked her fifth consecutive appearance in the Miami quarterfinals. In doing so, she became the first player to achieve that feat since Agnieszka Radwanska (2010–2014), and just the third American woman to reach five straight Miami quarterfinals, joining Chris Evert and Serena Williams.
