Pegula was extremely dominant from the word go as she cruised past her opponent in the first set, losing just one game in the process. While doing so, she ended up producing 12 winners, eight more than her opponent.

The second set was not much different as well where the current world number three ended up winning 67 percent service points.

This is the first time when the New York-born has managed to book her place in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

She will now face Czech Republic's Marketa Vondrousova in the quarterfinal of the tournament on Tuesday.

The manner of the victory will definitely give Pegula a lot of confidence going into the next round as she has only lost one set so far in the competition which was against fellow American Lauren Davis in the tournament opener.

Since then, she has defeated all her opponents — Spain’s Cristina Bucsa, Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Ukraine’s Tsurenko — in straight sets.
