Meanwhile, Gauff, the 18th seed, only lost four games in her entire match, before beating the 31st seed, Elise Mertens of Belgium, the 2018 Australian Open finalist, 6-4, 6-0.

Stephens broke Teichmann six times in her win, and won 75% of her second serve points. Teichmann meanwhile only won 25% of her second serve points. Gauff also broke Mertens six times and won 72% of her first serve points, while Mertens only won 45% of her first serve points.

Stephens (+163) and Gauff (-183) will now play each other in the quarterfinals. Head-to-head, Stephens won their only prior meeting, in the second round of the 2021 United States Open, 6-4, 6-2.

Jessica Pegula wins tough fourth round matchup

It was a lot tougher for Pegula to get to the quarterfinals, as she beat Irina-Camelia Begu of Romania, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. After a slow first set, Pegula bounced back with key breaks of serve in the second and third sets to win the match. Next up for Pegula (+550) is world number one and 2020 French Open champion Iga Swiatek of Poland (-750). Pegula and Swiatek have beaten each other once. Pegula won 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 in the second round of Washington in 2019, and Swiatek won 6-2, 7-5 in the semifinals of Miami earlier this year. The other two women’s quarterfinals have Leylah Annie Fernandez of Canada, the 17th seed, (-211) versus Martina Trevisan of Italy, (+181) and an all-Russian battle between the 20th seed Daria Kasatkina (-192) and the 29th seed Veronika Kudermetova (+167).
