Elise Mertens, the No. 28 seed, ousted the American, Jessica Pegula in the third round of the ongoing French Open 2023 at Roland Garros, Paris.
Jessica Pegula's third-round loss leaves the No. 3 seed frustrated. She suffered defeat by 6-1 6-3 against Belgian 28th seed Mertens.
With the sensational win, Elise Mertens, the No. 28 seed sailed into the next round and will face a Russian, either Anastasia Potapova or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
With Pegula joining No. 5 Caroline Garcia, No. 8 Maria Sakkari and No. 10 Petra Kvitova on the sideline, four of the top 10 women’s seeds already are gone.
Another woman from the United States joined Pegula on the way out early Friday: Peyton Stearns, the 2022 NCAA champion for the University of Texas, was eliminated by No. 9 Daria Kasatkina 6-0, 6-1 in 55 minutes.
