Jasmine Paolini vs Jessica Pegula prediction
Jasmine Paolini played a starring role for Italy in the semi-finals as she came from a set down to beat Elina Svitolina and spark a comeback against Ukraine. Paolini looked down and out at 4-2 in the second but reeled off four straight games to force a decider. She crucially broke in the ninth game of the third set, keeping her cool to serve it out and win 3-6 6-4 6-4.
Jessica Pegula also came from a set down in her singles match, as she clinched a semi-final victory for the United States over Great Britain. She struggled to deal with the aggressive play of Katie Boulter in the first set but eventually found her rhythm to win 3-6 6-4 6-2. Pegula broke her opponent’s serve on three separate occasions in the decider.
Pegula dominates the head-to-head, leading 3-0 without the drop of a set and 2-0 on hard court. This is likely to be an intense and close match, but Pegula’s versatility and experience could prove the difference.
