Jessica Pegula, third seed at WTA Cincinnati, has a fourth-round date with Sorana Cirstea, the 15th seed. The two meet for the fourth time, with Pegula currently holding the advantage. Heading into this encounter, Pegula has won seven of her last nine hardcourt matches, and our prediction backs her to prevail.
Cirstea hasn’t managed three straight wins since reaching the French Open quarter-finals, a run she’s looking to break here. She gets this chance after her third-round opponent Anna Kalinskaya retired in the third set.
The Romanian advances after compiling a 36-12 record for the season. Having won 19 of 25 hardcourt matches is sure to build her confidence here. Seeking her second title of the season, Cirstea is placed 17th in the live ranking.
Pegula’s search for a third title goes on after recent heartbreaks. A finalist here in 2014, the American has also fallen at two finals this season.
She comes into this match on a good run, though, having claimed seven wins in her last nine outings. A winner of the Dubai and Charleston titles this season, Pegula hasn’t dropped a set in Cincinnati.
She also has a good record in the fourth round in 2026, losing just once at that stage (10-1). The 32-year-old has so far compiled a 42-11 record, 26 of those wins being on hardcourts.
