Jessica Pegula vs Iga Swiatek prediction
Iga Swiatek will face Jessica Pegula for a 12th time when they lock horns in Rome.
The Pole leads the head-to-head 6-5 but has lost the last two meetings in straight sets and the American has been by far the more consistent and reliable player in 2026.
That said, Swiatek won their only previous clash on clay by a 6-3 6-2 scoreline at the 2022 French Open and the three-time Rome champion is showing ominous signs of finding top gear with the 6-2 6-1 rout of Naomi Osaka ensuring she heads into this quarter-final in confident mood.
Pegula took down an on-fire Anastasia Potapova 7-6 6-2 and will provide a good barometer of where the Clay Queen is truly at in terms of her Roland-Garros preparations.
We think Iga has definitely got something going now and if her clay-court game is firing, it’s too good for Jpeg.
