Jessica Pegula has reached the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the third consecutive year.
The sixth-seeded American has yet to concede a set in the tournament since beating Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-3, 6-3 on Saturday afternoon at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Pegula, who is one step closer to matching her 2023 result and matching her career-best quarterfinal finish in 2022, will face the winner of the match between Sara Errani and Diana Schneider on Monday.
In their first showdown, the so-called Battle of Jessica, Pegula truly looked like a veteran.
Pegula won seven of nine rallies of nine or more shots in the match and also served three aces, compared to none for Maneiro.
Pegula made just 17 unforced errors in a much closer match than Maneiro, who made 29.
