Bangkok Post
|August 03, 2025
Anastasija Sevastova stunned two-time defending champion Jessica Pegula 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 on Friday to book a fourth-round clash with Naomi Osaka at the WTA Canadian Open.
-
Sevastova, a former world No.11 now ranked 386th, snapped fourth-ranked Pegula’s 11-match WTA Canada win streak, the longest since Serena Williams reeled off 14 consecutive wins in 2011, 2013 and 2014.
She will try to extend her Montreal run in a round of 16 meeting with Osaka, a four-time Grand Slam champion from Japan who ousted another Latvian, 22nd seed Jelena Ostapenko, 6-2, 6-4.
“Somehow, I was down 2-0 in the second set and started to play better and better,’ Sevastova said. “Third set I played really good.
“Just trying to stay on the court as long as possible,’ added Sevastova, who has dealt with injury since returning from maternity leave in February 2024.
