Match preview

Jessica Pegula, the No. 3 seed and winner of this tournament in 2024, faces Madison Keys in the quarterfinals. Undefeated on grass this season, Pegula aims to extend her streak, while Keys, who defeated world No. 10 Muchova, seeks her first semifinal in Berlin.

The previous four meetings were all on hard courts, with two wins each. This will be their first encounter on grass, a surface where Keys paradoxically has a better win rate (73%) than Pegula (63%), despite a much lower ranking.

Serve quality will be decisive: Keys committed six double faults in their last meeting at the 2026 Australian Open. Pegula, more consistent in rallies, will look to exploit any lapses in concentration from her opponent to control the match tempo.

Last meeting

Their last meeting was on January 26, 2026, in the fourth round of the Australian Open. Jessica Pegula (world No. 6) defeated Madison Keys (No. 9) 6-3 6-4 in 78 minutes. Pegula had won 33 of her last 50 matches, while Keys had 34 wins.
