Simona Waltert and Jessica Pegula: Jessica Pegula leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Ten double faults against one is a hard way to hold serve, and Simona Waltert managed it three times in eight tries. Pegula broke in game 5 for 3-2 to set the pattern and took 63 percent of her second-serve return points over 91 minutes. The No. 3 seed answers a Canadian Open round-of-16 loss to Shnaider and moves into the last 32 at the Cincinnati Open, now 24-6 on hard courts this season.
