Wang Xinyu won both of her previous meetings with Pegula (Wimbledon 2024, Wuhan) and made twice as many unforced errors as her opponent in this match (24-12), and she said in her post-match interview: "If you play normally and safely, there will definitely be no pressure on her at all, so I also want to play more actively." The first two encounters were relatively fast, and I was able to play with a certain advantage from the bottom line, but here my ball speed was slowed down and I couldn't put pressure on her. I should have served at least as well as the previous two encounters when I couldn't get the upper hand, but I served very average today and my return wasn't sharp enough. ”


Pegula's next opponent will be 23rd seed Svitolina, who defeated homegrown star and 14th seed Collins 6-2, 6-4. No.2 seed Swiatek sent Ukraine Yastremska 6-0, 6-2 to face No.15 seed Mukhova in the fourth round. Seventh seed Rybakina defeated Great Britain's Usain Bolt 6-0, 7-5 to face ninth seed Andreeva in the fourth round.


"The Strait" Zhang Shuai/Xie Shuwei defeated Jones/Kessler 6-2, 6-3 to advance to the Women's Singles quarterfinals, while China's and former champions Yang Zhaoxuan/Xu Yifan lost 3-6, 6-4, 6-10 to Kenin/Keatnock.
