  • Jessica Pegula membuat kejutan dengan menyingkirkan unggulan kelima, Elina Svitolina, pada babak keempat Australia Open 2021.
  • Jessica Pegula pun lolos ke perempat final Australia Open 2021 yang jadi kesempatan pertamanya tampil di babak delapan besar turnamen grand slam.
  • Elina Svitolina menjadi petenis unggulan kelima yang gagal memenuhi ekspektasi lolos ke fase delapan besar.

SKOR.id - Kejutan kembali mewarnai persaingan nomor tunggal putri dalam turnamen tenis Grand Slam Australia Open 2021.

Kali ini, Senin (15/1/2021), kejutan hadir pada laga lanjutan babak keempat Australia Open 2021 yang mempertemukan Elina Svitolina kontra Jessica Pegula.

Elina Svitolina datang ke ajang ini sebagai unggulan kelima. Artinya, perempuan asal Ukraina itu diproyeksi untu minimal menembus fase perempat final.

Akan tetapi, proyeksi tersebut buyar setelah Elina Svitolina takluk di tangan Jessica Pegula yang merupakan petenis peringkat 61 dunia.

Jessica Pegula memenangi duel yang berlangsung di Rod Laver Arena itu dalam waktu dua jam kurang lima menit dengan skor 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.

Kemenangan ini jelas sangat berarti bagi Jessica Pegula yang untuk kali pertama dalam kariernya mampu menembus fase perempat final sebuah turnamen tenis grand slam.

Petenis 26 tahun asal Buffalo, Amerika Serikat tersebut biasanya terhenti pada babak-babak awal, baik oleh sesama petenis non-unggulan maupun unggulan atas.

Kemenangan ini juga membuat Jessica Pegula mengimbangi Elina Svitolina dalam rekor head-to-head.

Pada bulan lalu, kedua petenis saling berhadapan untuk kali pertama dalam Abu Dhabi Tennis Open 2021. Bersua pada babak pertama, Svitolina menang 6-4, 6-3.

Dengan hasil yang terjadi di Australia Open 2021, kini kedua petenis sama kuat 1-1 dalam hal rekor pertemuan.

Pada babak perempat final, Jessica Pegula bakal menghadapi kompatriot sesama wakil Amerika Serkiat, Jennifer Brady.

Jennifer Brady yang datang sebagai unggulan ke-22 lolos setelah mengalahkan Donna Vekic (Kroasia) dengan skor 6-1, 7-5.

Pada sisi lain, kekalahan ini menjadi pukulan tersendiri bagi Svitolina lantaran tren positif selalu menang dua set dalam tiga laga sebelumnya harus berhenti.

Perempuan 26 tahun tersebut juga harus kembali menunda impiannya untuk meraih gelar grand slam pertamanya.

Sementara itu, Elina Svitolina menjadi petenis tunggal putri kelima yang gagal memenuhi proyeksi lolos ke fase delapan besar Australia Open 2021.

Tercatat baru ada dua petenis unggulan yang memenuhi proyeksi lolos ke perempat final, yakni Simona Halep (unggulan kedua) dan Naomi Osaka (unggulan ketiga).

Satu petenis yang belum menentukan nasibnya adalah unggulan teratas sekaligus jagoan publik tuan rumah, Ashleigh Barty, yang baru akan bertanding sore nanti.
