🌴 Miami Open: Pegula vs. Raducanu 🎾
A fascinating quarterfinal clash between American consistency and British resurgence under the Miami lights!
Jessica Pegula 🌊
Miami Stalwart: Reaches QF for 4th straight year (2022-23 semifinalist) despite tough wins over Kostyuk & Kalinskaya.
Hardcourt Dominance: 36-11 since last fall with 5 finals across North America (Toronto, Cincinnati, US Open).
Home Comfort: Seeking 3rd Miami semifinal to continue best stretch of her career.
Emma Raducanu ☀️
American Slayer: Defeated Anisimova, Navarro & Kessler for first 4-match win streak since 2021 US Open title run.
Resurgent Form: Arrived with just 1 win in last 5 tournaments but rediscovering magic in Miami.
US Connection: Both career-long win streaks have come on American soil.
Head-to-Head
Tied 1-1. Raducanu won their epic 2h44m Eastbourne 2024 clash (4-6, 7-6, 7-5) after Pegula took Cincinnati 2022 meeting.
