The world's no. 1 Barty showed a dominant performance in this game, breaking in the first set of opponent Pergura, and taking a 2-0 lead after saving the serve, establishing an early advantage. Although Pegula actively sought break opportunities in Barty's serve, Barty's performance on key points was impeccable, and the Australian once again completed the break-breaker protection in the late stages of the set to take the next set 6-2. In the second set, Barty in one set hit the ball more decisively and scored more abundantly, while Pegura failed to improve his form in the backward situation, showing a rout situation, and Barty gave the opponent an egg in the second set and won strongly.
Pergula
In the mixed doubles quarter-finals, No. 2 seed Zhang Shuai/Pierce went one step further, defeating the Japanese duo of Shibahara Yingcai/McLakramien 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the mixed doubles semifinals.
