Jessica Pegula books spot in the Australian Open quarter-final over Krejcikova
WTASunday, 22 January 2023 at 08:58
Jessica Pegula continued to play strong tennis as the American remains unbothered with everything around her, putting forward another strong win 7-5 6-1.
Pegula has played the most consistent tennis all year long and it's showing in Australia. Not caving under pressure, she just keeps winning and playing her game which is one of the heaviest on Tour. Not many players could hold a rally against her and Krejcikova certainly could not for the entire length of the match.
She had some good moments in this one but generally could not withstand the impeccable ball-striking of Pegula. The first set was a really strong one as Pegula was on top early but struggled to close it out a bit. Eventually, she did 7-5 and it was all easier from there on out. The second set was 6-2 in her favour as she had more winners than unforced errors cruising to a 6-2 finish.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
