A Resilient Pegula Defeats Vondrousova and Will Face a French Player in the Round of 16
Pegula faced Vondrousova in the opening match on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
After being outplayed in the first set, Pegula showed determination to turn the tables on the Czech player and secure a three-set victory (3-6, 6-4, 6-2). Despite a low first-serve percentage, the American found solutions in the final set of a disjointed match.
This year, the world No. 3 reached the final in Miami and claimed titles in Charleston and Austin. In Paris, her last appearance was in 2023, ending in a third-round loss to Mertens.
She will face the winner of the all-French clash between Jacquemot and Boisson.
