Elena Rybakina vs Jessica Pegula – Match Predictions
Contents
As Elena Rybakina and Jessica Pegula set their sights on a spot in the final, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Jessica Pegula to Win a Set
Granted, Elena Rybakina is one of the hottest players on the WTA Tour at the moment. The Kazakhstani has won nine matches in a row in singles, and is eyeing a Sunshine Double sweep. However, it’s fair to point out that Rybakina hasn’t fared well against Jessica Pegula in the past. She has two losses in two clashes with the American. In fact, Rybakina crashed out of the last edition of the Miami Open at the hands of Pegula last year, in straight sets. That said, we believe the American player will win this match, or at least take a set.
Over 20.5 Total Games
Keeping in mind that these are two really good players, we don’t expect this match to be one-sided. On one hand, Elena Rybakina is currently on a nine-match winning streak. Likewise, Jessica Pegula has nine wins in her last 11 singles matches; she won at least one set in all of those 11 matches. All things considered, this match will likely go all the way to three sets, and it should go comfortably over 20 games.
Elena Rybakina vs Jessica Pegula Preview
We’ve established our predictions for Elena Rybakina vs Jessica Pegula. Let’s take a look at their performances in this tournament so far.
Elena Rybakina
Elena Rybakina took on Anna Kalinskaya, Paula Badosa, Elise Mertens and Martina Trevisan in the previous rounds. She dropped just two sets en route to the semi-final. Interestingly, Rybakina has won nine consecutive matches, and is on a quest to win back-to-back titles. It’ll be interesting to see if she can extend her winning streak to 10 matches today.
Jessica Pegula
Jessica Pegula had to save multiple match points in her quarterfinal clash with Anastasia Potapova. She had to claw her way back into the match after losing the first set. Pegula will look to make it three wins in as many encounters with Elena Rybakina.
Elena Rybakina vs Jessica Pegula Head to Head
This will be the third meeting between these players in their respective careers. They met at this tournament last year, where Pegula came out on top in straight sets. As it stands, Pegula leads the head-to-head with two wins from two.
