Dayana Yastremska vs Jessica Pegula prediction
Dayana Yastremska got her season off to a fast start as she thrashed Leylah Fernandez to advance into the round-of-16. The Ukrainian dominated the match from the off, winning 81% of her first serve points and not losing serve as she won 6-1 6-2 after just an hour and two minutes. Yastremska continued to create opportunities, and she will take confidence from that display when she faces Jessica Pegula.
Pegula began 2026 with a win over Anna Kalinskaya. The world number six did not have things all her own way, as the Russian forced a deciding set and opened up a 4-2 lead in the decider. Nevertheless, Pegula found a way to get back into the match and eventually sealed a 6-2 2-6 6-4 win.
They have played once before, at the Billie Jean King Cup, with Yastremska defeating Pegula in straight sets. The Ukrainian will cause Pegula problems if she replicates her performance against Fernandez, but the American usually finds a way to win.
