Here is our full guide to Raducanu\u2019s Miami quarter-final matchup.<\/p>\n
Raducanu<\/a>\u00a0will take on 31-year-old American Jessica Pegula, the world No 4, in the last eight in Miami.<\/p>\n Pegula is a winner of seven WTA Tour<\/a> singles titles, including three WTA 1000 crowns, while she was a runner-up at last year\u2019s US Open.<\/p>\n After receiving a first round bye as the fourth seed in Miami, Pegula downed Bernarda Pera 6-4, 6-4 in her opening match.<\/p>\n She then battled past No 32 seed Anna Kalinskaya 6-7(3), 6-2, 7-6(2) in a difficult third round encounter.<\/p>\n In the last 16, Pegula earned an impressively convincing 6-2, 6-3 win over world No 29 Marta Kostyuk, winning the last six games having trailed 0-3 in the second set.<\/p>\n The quarter-final between Raducanu and Pegula will be played on Wednesday March 26.\u00a0The order of play for Wednesday is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n During her run, Raducanu has earned four consecutive tour level matches for the second time in her career \u2014 after her stunning 2021 US Open title run.<\/p>\n The world No 60 crushed 188th-ranked Japanese wildcard Sayaka Ishii 6-2, 6-1 in the opening round.<\/p>\n The Brit then prevailed 7-6(6), 2-6, 7-6(3) in an epic second round encounter with world No 10 Emma Navarro for her third career top 10 win.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old backed up that up by overcoming 48th-ranked McCartney Kessler, who retired due to a physical issue when Raducanu led 6-1, 3-0 in the third round.<\/p>\n In the last 16, Raducanu dismantled world No 17 Amanda Anisimova 6-1, 6-3 for her third straight win against an American.<\/p>\n Emma Raducanu sends message to Amanda Anisimova after pundit claims opponent was \u2018rattled and fuming\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Emma Raducanu one Miami Open win away from huge rankings achievement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n The head-to-head between Raducanu and Pegula is split at 1-1, with the Brit earning her win on grass and the American registering her victory on hard-court.<\/p>\n Pegula won 6-4, 7-5 in the pair\u2019s maiden clash in the last 16 of the 2022 Cincinnati Open.<\/p>\n Raducanu triumphed 4-6, 7-6(6), 7-5 after saving a match point in a thrilling second round meeting in Eastbourne last year for her first-ever top 10 win.<\/p>\n \u201cJessie is one of the most consistent players on the tour, she consistently has unbelievable results,\u201d Raducanu told Tennis Channel after beating Anisimova.<\/p>\n \u201cI know it\u2019s going to be a really, really difficult match but I think I\u2019m playing pretty good tennis and I just enjoy having an opportunity every time to be in this stage of a tournament.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s something that I need to be really proud of because it\u2019s not something that has happened very often for me. But I\u2019m really happy with how the things are going, and more importantly just enjoying finding the competitive spirit again.\u201d<\/p>\n Pegula shared her thoughts on Raducanu after the Brit\u2019s\u00a0win against Navarro in Miami.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen she\u2019s playing at a top level, she belongs with the top players. I just think she struggled a little bit with injuries, finding consistency,\u201d the world no 4 told the media.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s tough nowadays, the depth is so good if you can\u2019t really rack in those matches and play a lot and get those wins under your belt it can be really difficult to keep that confidence.<\/p>\n \u201cI can understand why she was probably a little emotional. Winning two matches at a WTA 1000, beating a top 10 player \u2014 that\u2019s massive. Sometimes it takes a physical and mental battle to get through that.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd in that moment, you\u2019re thinking, \u2018My gosh, how am I going to do this? Not again?\u2019 For her to come back in the third and win the tiebreaker. I\u2019m sure she feels like there\u2019s a monkey off her back.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT:\u00a0Emma Raducanu makes surprising comments after sealing Miami Open quarter-final place<\/a> The post Emma Raducanu\u2019s Miami Open quarter-final vs. Jessica Pegula: When is it?
