World No. 4 Pegula will face Ukraine’s Anna Kalinskaya in the women’s singles third round of the Miami Open on Sunday, 23 March. The winner of this match faces the winner of Anna Blinkova and Marta Kostyuk.
31-year-old Pegula defeated Bernarda Pera 6-4, 6-4 in the first round and has a 16-5 win-loss record in 2025. She suffered some disappointing losses against lower-ranked players at the WTA 1000 events.
Pegula won the ATX Open in Austin last month but did not face any Top 50 players at the event. Last week, she suffered a loss against World No. 23 Elina Svitolina in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.
26-year-old Kalinskaya ended her four-match losing streak in her second-round match at the Miami Open when she defeated Moyuka Uchijima 6-1, 6-3. She could not win any match at the Qatar Open, Dubai Open and Indian Wells.
Kalinskaya has a 4-6 win-loss record in 2025. Her previous three wins this season came at the Singapore Open, where she retired from her semifinal match after losing the first set.

Jessica Pegula vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Jessica Pegula has a 13-5 win-loss record in the main draw matches of the Miami Open. She has not lost before the Round of 16 stage at the event since 2019, when she made her debut.
Pegula has an 81-36 record at the WTA 1000 events. She has not reached the final of any WTA 1000 event since losing to Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the Cincinnati Open in August 2024.
On the other hand, World No. 33 Anna Kalinskaya has a 7-2 win-loss record in Miami. Last year, she gave a walkover to Maria Sakkari in the fourth round of the Miami Open.
Kalinskaya has never won any WTA title in her career. She reached her first WTA final at the Dubai Open last year but lost to Jasmine Paolini in the final. Her last WTA final was against Pegula in Berlin last year.
Pegula will be a clear favorite considering the recent form, past performances in Miami and the WTA 1000 events.
