Jessica Pegula breezed past Lesia Tsurenko on Sunday to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
Pegula, the tournament’s fourth-seed, beat the unranked Tsurenko in straight sets: 6-1, 6-3. It is the first time she has reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
According to Buffalo News, Pegula is now the fifth American to reach the quarters at all four majors in the past 25 years.
“That was great. … I came out playing really well, exactly how I wanted to play, and I was just trying to ride that momentum as well as I could,” Pegula said in a courtside interview after the match, ESPN reports.
Pegula also won her second-round match in the women’s doubles competition with fellow American Coco Gauff today.
