Jessica Pegula vs Elena Rybakina prediction
Jessica Pegula secured her place in the semi-finals as she comfortably got past Jasmine Paolini in straight sets. The American created nine break point opportunities in total, converting four of them, while only conceding one on her own serve. Pegula ended the groups stage with two wins from three, having taken world number one Aryna Sabalenka to a deciding set in her second match.
She goes up against Elena Rybakina. Rybakina continued her dominant form with a win in her final group stage match to make it three wins from three. Her opponent Madison Keys withdrew from the tournament due to illness, with Ekaterina Alexandrova drafted in, but that did nothing to deter the 2022 Wimbledon champion as she won 6-4 6-4.
Pegula leads the head-to-head 3-2. They played against each other indoors for the first time less than two months ago, with Rybakina defeating Pegula in the Billie Jean King Cup. The American is one of the gutsiest competitors on the tour, but Rybakina has won all of her last nine completed matches and has the firepower to get this done.
