Pegula Advances to Wimbledon Fourth Round With Straight-Set Win

Her dominant 6-1, 6-3 victory highlights a late-career surge that sets up a fourth-round clash with fellow American Iva Jovic.

Overview

  • Pegula, who beat Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-1, 6-3 on Friday, reached the Wimbledon fourth round without dropping a set through her first three matches.
  • She closed the match in 53 minutes, winning 79 percent of points on her first serve, hitting 12 winners and improving her grass record this season to 7-1.
  • Pegula will face 18-year-old Iva Jovic next, a player she defeated twice earlier in 2026 and who has risen into the WTA top 20 this season.
  • In press conferences Pegula said she rejects the idea that she has 'so much time,' spoke openly about thinking through family planning and said she is tired of framing the matchup as an age story.
  • The results continue a run that has pushed her to world No. 4 and followed multiple recent WTA titles and a Berlin final, giving her form-based momentum at Wimbledon.
