Overview
- Pegula routed Rebeka Masarova 6-0, 6-0 in about an hour on Sunday to move into the Italian Open round of 16.
- The 6-0, 6-0 scoreline is the first of her career, logged in her 424th tour match according to OptaAce.
- The No. 5 seed has now run off three straight 6-0 sets after opening Rome with a 6-4, 6-0 win over Zeynep Sonmez.
- She faces qualifier Anastasia Potapova next for a quarterfinal spot and holds a 5-0 head-to-head lead in their meetings.
- WTA 1000 events are the tour’s top non‑Grand Slam tournaments, so matching Venus at 112 wins highlights sustained form in a season that already includes titles in Charleston and Dubai.
