The third favorite of the Grand Slam in Melbourne did not feel emotions in front of the Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk (61 WTA) and won in two sets with a score of 6-0, 6-2.

The game at the “Margaret Court Arena” was a real gallop of health for Pegul, who won after only 65 minutes of the game.

Jessica will face Barbora Kreichkova (23rd WTA, 20th favorite) in the next round, after the Roland Garros 2021 champion beat fellow Ukrainian Angelina Kalinin (39th WTA) 6-2, 6-3.

Australian Open 2023 will be held from January 16 to 29. The reigning champions are Ashley Barty (now retired) and Rafael Nadal (eliminated in the second round).
