Jessica Pegula eyes another straight-set win over Sorana Cirstea in the fourth round of the 2026 Cincinnati Open.
Pegula, priced at -120 to win 2-0 sets, has never dropped a set to Cirstea in their head-to-head series.
Current Form:
Jessica Pegula is back on track. After bowing out in the fourth round of the 2026 Canadian Open, Pegula made her way back to the round of 16 of another WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati with two scintillating two-set wins over Simona Waltert 6-3, 6-2, and Emma Navarro 7-5, 6-2.
Sorana Cirstea also advanced to the fourth round after posting a dominant come-from-behind win over Anna Kalinskaya. Cirstea lost the first set in a tiebreaker to the Russian, but the Romanian flipped the switch at the turn of the second set and seized control to post a 6-7, 6-1, 5-0 ret. win.
The Matchup: Pegula has defeated Cirstea in their first two meetings, both of which were clay-court matches.
