She followed this up with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Ajla Tomljanovic to set up a quarterfinal meeting with seventh-seed and defending champion Danielle Collins.
Pegula came back from a set down to register a 1-6, 6-3, 6-0 win and reach the semifinals, where ninth seed Ekaterina Alexandrova awaited her. The two played out a thrilling encounter that lasted two hours and 21 minutes, with the American edging out the Russian 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 to reach her fourth final of the 2025 season.
