Fourth seed Jessica Pegula reaches the Wimbledon quarterfinals after a comeback win over fellow American Iva Jovic. Across multiple reports, Pegula drops the first set 4-6 but then improves her performance on grass to win the next two sets 6-3 and 6-1. The match is described as having a scrappy start, with several service breaks in the opening set, before Pegula’s steadier management of the match becomes decisive. Jovic, described in coverage as a younger or teenage player, is unable to maintain the momentum after losing the first set.

Her age is cited as 32, and multiple outlets attribute the turnaround to her experience and ability to adjust during the match, particularly after falling behind early.
