Kvitova was undoubtedly the most rested of the two players because she hadn’t been on the court since her first round encounter on Tuesday due to a second round walkover. And as the match entered a final set tie-breaker, that is what helped her. In a match that lasted two hours and forty-one minutes, Petra Kvitova defeated Muguruza 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (10). She saved two match points on her own service in the 12th game of the decisive by preventing Muguruza from serving for the victory at 5-4 in the final set. Following the match tiebreaker, Kvitova wasted three of her own match points until Muguruza’s unforced error put an end to her chances. Erika Andreeva had been defeated in the first round by Kvitova before Anhelina Kalinina withdrew from their second-round match due to an injury.
Pegula entered her third-round match as a 3/20 favourite against the essentially unheralded Yue Yuhan, and it appeared that way when she easily took the first set. Jessica Pegula‘s playing, as well as her serve, declined after she failed to convert two break-point opportunities in the opening game of the second set. Pegula did force a tiebreaker, but Yuan was able to win the tiebreaker thanks to a missed match point. Pegula used that as a motivational boost as she ran wild in the decisive set, breaking her opponent three times to secure a three-set victory in just over two hours: 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-0.
Jessica Pegula and Petra Kvitova are scheduled to face one another in a fourth round match of the US Open 2022 on Monday, September 5. The 2022 US Open is all set to begin from August 29 till September 11.
