Taking to court first up for her quarterfinal encounter, the top seed left fans with stunned eyes as she crumbled to a potential exit in Charleston.

She has made all the headlines this week, for her on-court prowess as well as the viral clips with her newly adopted dog. The American won the crown in the iconic green clay court event in 2024, thrashing Daria Kasatkina in the final. For Pegula, a third consecutive semifinal appearance at this event was on the line.<\/p><p><strong>READ ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/how-many-times-has-rafael-nadal-won-the-monte-carlo-masters-exploring-rafa-monte-carlo-romance\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>How Many Times Has Rafael Nadal Won the Monte Carlo Masters?

She produced a host of winners on both wings, taking the ball on the rise like the fiery Collins we&rsquo;ve come to know. The American was particularly effective in her cross-court stroke play, and raced ahead to a 6-1 2-0 lead in the blink of an eye. Pegula seemed lost at the receiving end of this onslaught, and had to change things up.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jessica Pegula vs. Danielle Collins | 2025 Quarterfinal Charleston | WTA Match Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YMk9Sc0IAW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The shift in momentum started in the fourth game of the second set. Withstanding a barrage of forehands by Collins, Pegula converted her second break point and won a marathon game to level things up at 2-2. With an entertained crowd fully on her side, the 2024 US Open champion served much better and improved her defensive skills to take the match into a decider.<\/p><p>As the final set commenced, a slightly tired Collins meant that Pegula had more time to find her range. She ably mixed her top spins and slices &ndash; throwing in some vital drop shots into the mix as well. The 2022 Australian Open finalist appeared to be out of responses against the top seed and ended the match with 55 unforced errors as opposed to 33 winners.<\/p><p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/what-is-prize-money-for-monte-carlo-masters-2025-round-wise-prize-money-atp-monte-carlo-masters\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>What is the Prize Money for the Monte Carlo Masters 2025?

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport. And if you\u2019re a fan of Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and\/or Stephen Curry - I\u2019m your guy. \u00a0","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sankalphk","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sankalp-hk-660254215"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/sankalp\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36945"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36945"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36956,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36945\/revisions\/36956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
