Randy’s Pick
This feels like the spot where Pegula finally gets over the hump, as she’s been dominant through 4 matches and now goes up against somebody who doesn’t have much grand slam success. Vondrousova also had her work cut out for her in the fourth round, and her serve could certainly improve moving forward. Pegula has been in these spots time and time again these last 2 years and has come up short. This feels like the turning point.
Give me the American to make her first grand slam semifinal.
