With the critics hovering over her head, the final major of the year presents a grand platform for 31-year-old Pegula to rise to the occasion. On the other hand, Blinkova will throw in some curveballs to upset the American&rsquo;s rhythm. As we dive deep into this encounter with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a>, you can make your predictions for the result.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jessica Pegula vs Anna Blinkova Match Preview<\/h2><p>Having reached the US Open final and made the quarterfinals at all the other majors, Jessica Pegula has some massive accomplishments in her resume. With 9 singles championships and 7 doubles trophies to her name, the American has carved an illustrious pathway for herself. Known to be one of the players who features in the most events during the season, Pegula has three titles (Austin, Charleston, Bad Homburg) and two finals (Adelaide, Miami) in 2025. Her 75% success rate on hard court service games played a big role in her 6-0 6-4 Round-1 win over Sherif.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Onward for Jessica Pegula! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kzZeX2vTXA\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/kzZeX2vTXA<\/a><\/p>&mdash; US Open Tennis (@usopen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usopen\/status\/1959819914124112133?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>August 25, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Anna Blinkova also dropped just four games in her opening tussle, beating Starodubtseva 6-3 6-1 on Sunday. The 26-year-old Russian entered the main draw in New York with just one win during the North American hard court swing. A former Top-40 player in her own right, Blinkova has already achieved her best performance at Flushing Meadows in 2025. Yet to win a title this year, the World No. 80 has a 22-22 record which translates to a 50% success rate. When it comes to break points converted, Blinkova&rsquo;s 50% ratio ranks her within the Top-60 in the WTA.<\/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=\"Yuliia Starodubtseva vs. Anna Blinkova Highlights | 2025 US Open Round 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L81_5iGKayY?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><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jessica Pegula vs Anna Blinkova Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>Jessica Pegula has a 4-1 record in the head-to-head against Anna Blinkova.

While Blinkova has a strong mentality and keeps making opponents play an extra ball, Pegula has an innate ability to take the racquet out of the opposition&rsquo;s hands. The Russian has a wide arm extension on the backhand wing, which means that most of her shots will be struck cross-court to the Pegula backhand. Courtesy her superior power and agility, the American should outlast Blinkova in two sets.<\/p><p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Jessica Pegula in straight sets.<\/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. Anna Blinkova | Austin 2025 Quarterfinal | WTA Match Highlights\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/749XBwQohMM?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><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jessica Pegula vs Anna Blinkova US Open 2025 Betting Odds<\/h2><p>Pegula is the betting favourite against underdog Blinkova at the US Open 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\/624982"}],"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=624982"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":624992,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624982\/revisions\/624992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/624989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=624982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=624982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=624982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
