Jessica Pegula takes down Jessica Bouzas Maneiro to cruise into US Open fourth round

Jessica Pegula is on to the fourth round of the U.S. Open for a third straight year. 

The No. 6-seeded American has still yet to concede a set in the tournament after defeating Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-3, 6-3 Saturday afternoon inside Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Matching her 2023 results and inching closer to her career-best quarterfinal finish from 2022, Pegula will play the winner of Sara Errani and Diana Shnaider on Monday. 

In the first meeting between the two, the Battle of the Jessicas, if you will, Pegula rightfully looked like the veteran. 

Pegula won seven of the match’s nine rallies of nine or more shots, while also blasting three aces, in comparison to Maneiro’s zero.

Committing just 17 unforced errors, Pegula played a much tighter match than Maneiro, who hit 29.
