The Czech superstar hit five double faults but was able to recover and cruise past Jessica Pegula for a 6-4 6-3 victory. Kvitova was particularly impressive at the net, winning 15 of 18 points. Additionally, she was aggressive in her returns, winning 65% of points on Pegula's second serve. The American was forced to scramble for most of the match, leading to her hitting only 9 winners to Kvitová's 26.

Next up for the two-time Wimbledon champion is Shelby Rogers, who engaged in an all-American battle with Madison Brengle earlier in the day. Rogers defeated her compatriot 6-2 6-4 to advance to the fourth round of the US Open for the first time in her career. The World No.93 employed her powerful groundstrokes to sweep past her doubles partner, ending the match in just 68 minutes.
