American Jessica Pegula beat a top-10 player for the first time in her career Monday, shocking fifth seed Elina Svitolina at the Australian Open to make her first ever Grand Slam quarter-final.
The unseeded 26-year-old has been in scintillating form at Melbourne Park and overwhelmed the Ukrainian 6-4, 3-6, 6-3 to set up a last-eight clash with either fellow American Jennifer Brady or Croat Donna Vekic. I really admire how she is on the court, she just puts her head down and goes about her business and really always fights, so that s definitely something I tried to do today, Pegula said of Svitolina.
