"I feel like there's been more pressure this year, because I did so well coming into this tournament," the 30-year-old Pegula said. "I want to keep working my way and hopefully bringing my best tennis for the later rounds this time."Also returning to the quarterfinals was Karolina Muchova, a 6-3, 6-3 winner over No. 5 Jasmine Paolini, the runner-up at the French Open and Wimbledon this season.
"I obviously miss Andy. Shoutout to Andy. What an unbelievable career the guy's had. Just an icon of the game. I miss him in the change rooms. I miss being next to his stinky shoes and all his stinky clothes," said Draper, who'll take on No. 10 Alex de Minaur or Jordan Thompson, two Australians scheduled to play each other Monday. "Andy's a legend, and if I have half the career he had, then I'll be a happy man.
