Jessica Pegula has returned to the quarterfinals of the 2025 US Open, reinforcing her status as one of the tournament favorites after a decisive 6-1, 6-2 victory over Ann Li in just 54 minutes[1]. Pegula, the No. 4 seed, has not dropped a set throughout the tournament and has only once been on court for more than 75 minutes—a testament to her current form and dominance at Flushing Meadows[1].

Her next opponent is Barbora Krejcikova, a two-time Grand Slam champion who survived multiple match points in her last match to set up this quarterfinal showdown[1]. Pegula acknowledged her strong performance after the win, stating, “Probably the best match, honestly, I’ve played since, like, before Wimbledon I feel like from the start to finish. So that was encouraging… I was just hitting the ball, doing everything well, executing my strategy very well and got through it pretty quick.”[1]

This US Open run has seen Pegula claim straight-set wins over Mayar Sherif, Anna Blinkova, Victoria Azarenka, and Ann Li[3]. Her toughest battle came against Azarenka, a former world No. 1, but Pegula closed out the encounter in two sets and remains untested in the rest of her matches[3].

Pegula enters the quarterfinals holding a singles win-loss record of 37-16 for the 2025 season, with three singles titles to her name and over $2.1 million in prize money this year[2][4]. She currently holds a WTA singles ranking of No. 4 and her season has included event victories at Bad Homburg, Charleston, and Austin[4].

Through highlights and expert commentary, analysts have praised Pegula’s composure, consistency, and ability to execute her game plan throughout the US Open[5][6]. She is widely viewed as a top contender for the title, especially given her current form and string of dominant performances.
