In each of these matches, Jessica had a significant advantage on her serve, acting with a minimum number of unforced errors.

Before the start in Austin this season, Blinkova had only overcome two rounds at the tournament in Linz. In the USA, Anna defeated Uchijima at the start in only three sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-0). In the second round, the Russian tennis player was much more confident against the experienced German Tatiana Maria (6-2, 6-2).

Pegula went through two rounds in Austin very confidently, but we don't think she will overcome Blinkova's resistance in the quarterfinals as easily. The Russian tennis player also played out on the local courts, the serve flies well.
