Third seed Pegula prevails in three set Trevisan test at Madrid Open, set for Kudermetova Quarter-Final clash
WTAMonday, 01 May 2023 at 22:44
Third seed Jessica Pegula is successfully into the Quarter-Finals of the Madrid Open after seeing off clay court specialist, Martina Trevisan in three sets on Monday evening.
Veronika Kudermetova now awaits who took down Daria Kasatkina earlier this evening with Pegula sealing it 6-3, 2-6, 6-3 with four aces, 62% on her first serve, and 7/11 break points won despite 31 unforced errors, a mirror image for the Italian.
In the opening set, it was dominated at the end by Pegula who after exchanging breaks of serve with Trevisan went 5-3 up and served for it easing through a service hold 6-3.
But when it looked like Pegula was taking charge, she started to hand the momentum to Trevisan who swept the second set 6-2 breaking in all service games for Pegula and she looked to head into the final set and take the American out.
In the final set, it was anything but secure. Pegula worked hard to seal a 3-2 break of serve to start but was broken back immediately albeit coming back from 40-0 down to seal deuce.
But Pegula broke stroke back to go 4-3 up with Trevisan double-faulting on break point before finally sealing a hold to go one game away just after the two-hour mark.
On Trevisan’s serve, she didn’t leave it to chance to get to 40-15 and match point but shanked it into the net on match point but still had another to come.
Like the break a few games prior, it was a double fault that saw Pegula seal it without even having to touch the ball.
