Fourth seed Jessica Pegula will meet Barbora Krejcikova in the US Open 2025 high-stakes quarterfinals. Pegula, last year’s finalist, has been untouchable so far in New York, dispatching Mayar Sherif, Anna Blinkova, Victoria Azarenka, and Ann Li without conceding a set.

Meanwhile, the two-time Grand Slam champion, Krejcikova, cruised past Yafan Wang and wildcard Caty McNally. But she was dragged into a three-set battle with Emma Navarro and Taylor Townsend, edging both out and securing her spot.

Pegula’s season has been one of peaks and dips. The American reached five finals, lifting trophies in Austin, Charleston, and Bad Homburg, while falling short to Madison Keys in Adelaide and Aryna Sabalenka in Miami. Roland Garros brought her lowest point, a shocking fourth-round exit to wildcard Lois Boisson, while other events saw her bow out early. Across 54 matches, she’s delivered 135 aces, winning 67.6% of her first-serve points and converting 44.1% of break chances.

Krejcikova’s year has been disrupted by a back injury that sidelined her from Melbourne until May. She made a quarterfinal run in Eastbourne but failed to defend her Wimbledon crown, falling to Navarro in the third round, and recently exited Cincinnati in the last 16. Krejcikova, essentially a doubles player, has shone brighter in that format, with quarterfinal runs in Eastbourne, Montreal, and Cincinnati. In 15 singles matches, she’s struck 43 aces, winning 66.1% on first serves and 40.6% of break points.

My journey into sports media began far from the field, rooted in the arts and sciences. Funny enough, I didn’t grow up a sports fan; I used to see it all as just noise. But a fateful writing job introduced me to the world of sports, and what began as a gig quickly became a passion. I understood those voices aren’t noise; they’re emotions of true sports fans, and now I am one of them, writing with the same energy I once questioned.
