The quarter-final match of Prague Open 2023 between Jessica Pegula and Elina Svitolina will take place on August 4.
Familiar with DC courts, Jessica Pegula secured a solid victory over compatriot Peyton Stearns, enduring three second-set breaks to win 6-3, 6-4. This triumph helps her move past her Wimbledon quarterfinal loss. She has triumphed twice in Washington DC, achieving her first WTA quarterfinal and semifinal in 2016, then clinching her debut singles title in 2019 and a doubles trophy with Erin Routliffe in 2022. The world No. 4 has entered 24 quarterfinals since the 2021 season, holding a decent 10-13 record. She recently faced quarterfinal losses in clay and grass swings but achieved hard court semifinals in Doha, Dubai, and Miami this year.
Elina Svitolina’s motivation seems at an all-time high as she advances into her fourth tour-level quarterfinal since returning from maternity leave. She secured wins over rivals Victoria Azarenka (7-6, 6-4) and Daria Kasatkina (6-2, 6-2). Although broken eight times by Azarenka, Svitolina impressively saved all 10 breakpoints against Kasatkina, marking her fifth top 20 win in her comeback. With a 15-3 record in her last 18 matches, she notably won the Strasbourg title, reached a Roland-Garros quarterfinal, and achieved a Wimbledon semifinal appearance.
