In a post on his social media, Rick Macci, former coach of Sharapova, Roddick, and the Williams sisters, discussed Pegula's potential. For him, she could win a Grand Slam this season:
"Pegula has always been one of the best ball strikers on the tour among those who haven’t yet won a Grand Slam.
She can beat anyone, anytime, anywhere. She’s one of the most solid players. Pegula could win a Grand Slam this year."
Pegula will face the young Eala in the semifinals.
