Pegula Powers Through to Wimbledon Fourth Round After 53-Minute Win

Jessica Pegula kept her momentum rolling at Wimbledon 2026, beating world No. 52 Jessica Bouchard-Maneiro 6-1, 6-3 on July 3. The fourth‑seeded American completed the match in just 53 minutes, earning a spot in the tournament’s fourth round without surrendering a set.

The American opened the match aggressively, quickly running to a 4‑0 advantage and never allowing a comeback. Her potent serve and accurate groundstrokes made the first set a comfortable 6‑1. Although she faced a brief challenge in the second set, dropping her service game in the third game, Pegula regained control with an immediate break and a streak of four games, closing the set 6‑3.

Overall, Pegula won 79% of first‑serve points and struck twelve winners. Coming off a Berlin Open final run, her confidence was evident. Afterward she remarked that she no longer pressures herself to perform on grass, joking that she’s often advised to love the surface, but now she takes it in stride.
