Jessica Pegula vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction
Jessica Pegula had to hit the comeback trail to progress in Charleston.
The consistent American battled hard to fight through a 4-6 6-4 7-5 win over Yulia Putintseva.
The top seed now faces another tricky encounter with Elisabetta Cocciaretto, who defeated Yue Yuan 6-0 7-5.
The Italian has also had a fantastic start to the year and is very much capable of producing a big-name upset. Indeed, the head-to-head stands at 1-1 with Elisabetta shocking Jpeg in straight sets at Wimbledon last year.
Pegula will be eager to avenge that loss and has a solid record on the dirt with her opponent perhaps not as strong statistically on clay as one would expect.
The American may not have it all her own way but we feel she may have the edge when it matters most, but if you want a punt an upset, there are worse options than this.
Jessica Pegula vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto tip: Over 2.5 sets
