Anna Kalinskaya has pushed Jessica Pegula to three sets in all their previous matches.
Catching a +3.5-game advantage in the alternative spread market, Kalinskaya marches into the quarterfinals of the Washington D.C Open as a solid bet to cover.
Current Form:
Jessica Pegula survived Magdalena Frech, 3-6, 6-3, 6-0, to advance into the quarterfinals of the 2026 Washington D.C Open. Playing in her first match since her quarterfinal run at the Wimbledon Open, Pegula rebounded from a rusty start in the first set to demolish Frech in the last two sets.
After taking down former top-10 Daria Kasatkina in the first round, Anna Kalinskaya gutted out a three-set win over Janice Tjen 1-6, 6-3, 7-6. Kalinskaya displayed nerves of steel in the third-set tiebreaker, coming through with the big points down the stretch. Kalinskaya is now 11-7 on the hard court.
The Matchup: Pegula is 4-1 vs. Kalinskaya in their head-to-head series. Kalinskaya’s lone win over the American came on clay at the 2025 Strasbourg Open, while Pegula dominated the series on quick courts. Still, Kalinskaya has managed to take Pegula to three sets in all five matches.
