Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula prediction
Aryna Sabalenka survived a scare before shrugging aside Nikola Bartunkova in Berlin.
The 20-year-old Czech secured the opening set and forced a second-set breaker before the world number one took charge to claim a 2-6 7-6 6-4 victory.
The Belarusian will now face Jessica Pegula for a 13th time after the American edged compatriot Madison Keys by a 7-6 7-6 scoreline.
Sabalenka leads the head-to-head 9-3 and has won five of the last six, but this will be a maiden tussle on grass.
This will be a real test for the top seed, who is still looking to wash away her disappointment at the French Open and there were more signs of vulnerability against Bartunkova.
Jpeg has great grass nous and if she can get Aryna to overhit, she may well get under her skin, which is so often the key to upsetting the four-time Grand Slam champion.
