Quarterfinal clash as Pegula aims to extend strong run against Siniakova
Sixth seed Jessica Pegula will take on qualifier Katerina Siniakova in the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open 2025. As one of the top eight seeds, Pegula received a first-round bye and has been tested since. The American battled past Hailey Baptiste and ninth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in three sets to reach the last eight. Siniakova, meanwhile, has been on a confident run through qualifying and the main draw, defeating 15th seed Diana Shnaider, Maya Joint, and lucky loser Iva Jovic, all in straight sets.
Pegula’s 2025 season has been defined by flashes of brilliance mixed with a few early exits. She has captured titles in Austin, Charleston, and Bad Homburg, beating McCartney Kessler, Sofia Kenin, and Iga Swiatek in those finals. She also reached championship matches in Adelaide and Miami, along with semifinal runs at the US Open and Beijing, where she lost to Aryna Sabalenka and Linda Noskova. Her numbers reflect a consistent baseline with 168 aces, 67.9% of first-serve points won, and 45.2% of break points converted across 64 matches.
Siniakova, a 10-time doubles Grand Slam champion, continues to build confidence in singles. This season she lifted the WTA 125 title in Warsaw, made semifinal runs in Seoul and at the Winner Open, and reached quarterfinals in Lleida and Prague. Her form has improved steadily, though inconsistency remains a factor. In 34 matches, she has hit 67 aces, winning 63.2% of first-serve points and converting 43% of break points.
Jessica Pegula leads Katerina Siniakova 4-1 in their head-to-head. Their rivalry began in 2019 at the Washington Open, where Pegula claimed a straight-sets win. Siniakova responded two years later at Bad Homburg with a hard-fought three-set victory, but that remains her only success. Since then, Pegula has firmly controlled the rivalry.

Jessica Pegula’s superior form this season and her hard-fought victories in Wuhan give her the edge, though Katerina Siniakova’s confidence from straight-set wins could make this a close contest. But, on paper, the American has the edge.
