The world number 3, Jessica Pegula, will be facing Ekaterina Alexandrova at the 2025 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix (Stuttgart Open) quarterfinals. The American, who received a first round bye, defeated Magdalena Frech in straight sets in the round of 16. Meanwhile Alexandrova, ranked 22nd in the world, is yet to drop a set at the Stuttgart Open and is coming off a stunning straight sets win over Mirra Andreeva.

Alexandrova won her first WTA 500 title at the Linz Open earlier this year. She also reached the semi-finals of the Qatar Ladies Open, defeating world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Emma Raducanu and Jessica Pegula along the way. She lost a closely fought 3-set battle to Jessica Pegula in the semi-finals of the Charleston Open.

Pegula, on the other hand, is putting on a good show, surpassing the 2024 French Open champion Coco Gauff and reaching her career-high No. 3 ranking, which she first attained in October 2022.

World #3 Jess Pegula, who pretty much nothing to defend in the next 2/3 months, continues in great form, defeats Magdalena Frech 6-1, 6-1 to reach the QFs in Stuttgart.

Jessica Pegula and Ekaterina Alexandrova will meet for the fifth time, with their head-to-head tied at 2-2. Pegula narrowly beat Alexandrova in Charleston enroute to the title, while the Russian has since gone 5–1, including a statement win over Mirra Andreeva. Both players are in great form, but Pegula’s dominance on clay and recent hot streak gives her a slight edge in what is expected to be a close match.

Prediction: Jessica Pegula to win in straight sets.
