Jessica Pegula vs Jasmine Paolini prediction
Jessica Pegula needs a victory in the final group stage to give her the best possible chance of qualifying for the next stage of the WTA Finals. After her superb win over Coco Gauff, Pegula would come unstuck against world number one Aryna Sabalenka, going down in three sets. She looked on course for the win after breaking to go 2-1 up in the decider, but Sabalenka reeled off four games in a row to win 6-4 2-6 6-3.
Jasmine Paolini is already out of contention as she was eliminated following her second successive straight sets loss in the competition. The Italian has been dealing with illness during the tournament and failed to threaten Coco Gauff in her second group stage match, losing 6-3 6-2 after an hour and 18 minutes.
Pegula dominates the head-to-head, leading 3-1. However, Paolini did win their most recent meeting at the Billie Jean King Cup less than two months ago. Pegula knows that everything is on the line in this match, while Paolini is already aware of her fate, whatever the result.
