Jessica Pegula vs Diana Shnaider prediction
Jessica Pegula continued her pursuit of a second Washington title with a confident win over Anna Kalinskaya.
The top seed maintained her strong head-to-head against the Russian courtesy of a 6-3 7-5 success.
The American will now face another Russian in the shape of Diana Shnaider for a place in the final.
The fourth seed took down her compatriot Liudmila Samonsova by a 6-3 6-4 scoreline.
This will be their fourth meeting and Pegula has won all of the previous three, including two on hardcourts in North America without dropping a set.
Shnaider has the game to do damage in these conditions, however, and while we tip Jpeg to get it done, it may not be as comfortable as it has been in the past.
