WTA 500 Brisbane. Hard, 1/8 finals
Dayana Yastremska (Ukraine) – Jessica Pegula (USA) [4] – 7:5, 2:6, 3:6
Yastremska held the first head-to-head match against Pegula at the Tour level and the second, if you consider the meeting at the Billie Jean King Cup in the confrontation of the Ukrainian and US national teams in 2022. Then Diana beat Jessica in two games.
Yastremska in Brisbane started from the first lap and managed to pass Talia Gibson and Leila Fernandez. Next week, the Ukrainian will perform at the 500th in Adelaide, after which she will go to the Australian Open 2026.
Diana’s three-set win was Pegula’s second on the Brisbane courts this year. In the second round, she pressed Anna Kalinskaya in a difficult match. Her next opponent will be the 10th seed Lyudmila Samsonova.
