Anisimova, Pegula set all-American Cincinnati quarterfinal

The rivalry between Amanda Anisimova and Jessica Pegula is coming back to home soil.

The two Americans will go head-to-head in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open after both won their Round of 16 matches on Wednesday, setting the stage for their sixth career meeting and first at a U.S. tournament since the 2024 WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz season. 

Anisimova will come in seeking her first victory against Pegula riding high after a 6-1, 6-4 upset of Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova, while Pegula needed to battle for more than 2 hours in her 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 win over Sorana Cirstea.
