US Edition2-Time Defending Champion Jessica Pegula Upset by Sevastova in 3rd Round in Montreal
MONTREAL, CANADA, AUG 1 – Sevastova, ranked 386th and returning from injury and maternity leave, defeated Pegula 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, ending the two-time champ's bid for a third straight title, officials said.
- On Friday at the National Bank Open in Montreal, Jessica Pegula was eliminated after losing 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 to Sevastova in the third round.
- Sevastova’s return followed a long recovery, including an ACL tear at the ATX Open in March 2024 and six weeks on crutches, after 13 months off tour.
- Statistically, Pegula landed just 53% of her first serves and won 50% of those points, while Sevastova saved three of five break points and converted three of her five opportunities.
- With Pegula eliminated, a new women’s singles champion is now guaranteed at the National Bank Open.
- Looking ahead, Sevastova will face Naomi Osaka, who advanced with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Jelena Ostapenko, and a victory would match her best Canadian Open result.
