An all-American clash is set for the quarterfinals of the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati, as Amanda Anisimova prepares to take on compatriot Jessica Pegula.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
Anisimova enters the contest in stellar form, fresh off a stunning 6-1, 6-4 upset over Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova. In contrast, Pegula had to battle for over two hours to secure her spot, eventually overcoming Sorana Cirstea in a hard-fought 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 victory.
Pegula's consistency and ability to extend rallies could test Anisimova, who is known to put pressure on her opponents with her aggressive baseline hitting.
History heavily favors Pegula, who has won all five of their previous encounters. However, riding a wave of momentum, Anisimova will be looking to finally claim her first win against her fellow American and seek a measure of revenge.
The winner of this quarterfinal will advance to the semifinals to face either Iga Swiatek or Elena Rybakina.

Pegula currently leads the head-to-head series against Anisimova 5-0. They last faced each other at the Dubai Tennis Championships in February 2026, Pegula won a three set match 1-6,6-4,6-3.
