Latest comments on Diana Shnaider vs Jessica Pegula match

Diana Shnaider picked up her 24th win since the start of the grass-court season with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over veteran Sara Errani on Saturday to advance to the fourth round at Flushing Meadows.

In the young Russian's second year on Tour, she has twice surpassed her best Grand Slam performance, reaching the third round at Wimbledon, and surpassing her second-round performances at the Australian Open and French Open last year.

Having yet to drop a set in New York, the 20-year-old has now built on his impressive Wimbledon performance and is aiming to reach his first quarter-final in his first major appearance at the US Open.

After a recent loss to their opponents on Monday in Toronto, Shnaider will be more motivated to shock Pegula, who is in fine form at home.

Jessica Pegula, the sixth seed, is the favorite heading into the fourth round against the 18th seed, looking to continue her impressive form that began in the US Open pre-season tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati.

The 30-year-old won the Canadian Open, beating her opponent on Monday in the semi-finals, and reached the final in Cincinnati, only to lose to Aryna Sabalenka in the decider.

With 13 wins in August, Pegula has the most wins on the WTA Tour, while only Shnaider has more wins since the start of the grass-court season (24-19) as she enters her bid for a second quarterfinal in New York and a seventh at Grand Slams.

She also got this far without dropping a set — advancing to the fourth round after beating in-form Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 6-3, 6-3 in straight sets in the third round — and will want to continue that form against the Russian.

While a match against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek could be on the cards for Pegula if she wins on Monday, she cannot afford to lose focus against this tough opponent.

Diana Shnaider vs Jessica Pegula score prediction

While Swiatek, Sabalenka and defending champion Coco Gauff are the top players on Tour, Pegula and Shnaider are perhaps the outliers in good form heading into the second week of the US Open.

While Monday's clash could go either way, the American's experience at this level should see her through and into another quarter-final in New York.
