The American fourth seed won 75% of second serve points (9/12) and saved three of four breakpoints. Pegula tallied 51% of return points (35/68) and broke Kostyuk five times in the match.

Emma Raducanu Preview

Emma Raducanu reached her first WTA 1000 quarterfinal with a routine win over 17th seed Amanda Anisimova. The match took 16 games to decide. The Briton prevailed 6-1, 6-3 in an hour and 5 minutes. Raducanu, who is playing without a coach, tallied 10 winners, including two aces, and 8 unforced errors.

The former US Open champion landed 78% of first serves in play and won 77% of first serve points (24/31). Raducanu won 67% of second serve points (6/9) and only faced one breakpoint on serve. She won 56% of return points (30/54) and broke Anisimova's serve five times. 

Raducanu picked up only her seventh win of the season. This is her best run in a tournament in 2025.

Jessica Pegula vs Emma Raducanu Prediction

The last time Raducanu won four straight matches, she would lift her Grand Slam at the US Open. So, as the Miami Open comes to a close this weekend, Raducanu's path will only get tougher from this point as the Briton's stamina will be extremely important. But she's up against one of the most durable players on tour in Pegula, and I just think Raducanu will fall short in matching the American's endurance, particularly when this match gets to a third set. Give me Pegula for a spot in the Miami quarterfinals.
