Top seed Jessica Pegula faces unseeded Anna Blinkova in the ATX Open quarter-finals. Who will reach the last four of this outdoor hard court tournament and play either Ajla Tomljanovic or Ena Shibahara (both unseeded)? Here’s our match prediction.

Pegula is fourth in the rankings but there’s a big gap between the American and the top three. In the Live WTA Race, the 31-year-old is 12th. The Adelaide final was reached by Pegula in January but this is her first quarter-final since then.

No seeds stand between Pegula and the final. On Wednesday. Pegula had a straight sets win over unseeded Nuria Parrizas Diaz for the loss of only four games. These two players have met four times before with Pegula winning three of them.

Anna Blinkova is in her second WTA Tour quarter-final of the year. The Russian made it to the last eight in Linz but that was an indoor hard court event. Blinkova has been making a habit of losing in the second round of tournaments. That’s happened to her four times in 2025.

The 26-year-old avoided that on Wednesday when beating Tatjana Maria in straight sets. That continued her good form in Austin after knocking out sixth-seeded Moyuka Ichijima in round one.

We tip Pegula to win in straight sets.
