Jessica Pegula Defeats Aryna Sabalenka in Wuhan Clash
Jessica Pegula has finally defeated Aryna Sabalenka after four consecutive losses, coming from a set down to secure her third win over the Belarusian in 11 matches.
Pegula now trails 3-8 in head-to-head matchups against World No.1 Sabalenka, but has made significant progress in the Wuhan Open, surpassing her previous performance of not progressing beyond the third round.
- Pegula had never played a quarterfinal in a WTA 1000 event of the East Asian swing before this year.
- Her China Open run was ended by eventual runner-up Linda Noskova in the semifinals.
She couldn't win three Big Titles after reaching the finals, including last year's US Open, with Sabalenka being the reason.
