Jessica Pegula vs Marta Kostyuk prediction
Jessica Pegula began her Madrid Open campaign with a straight sets win over Katie Boulter. The former British number one was competitive but failed to convert any of her five break points as Pegula won 6-4 6-4. The American began the clay court season by defending her Charleston Open title at the start of this month.
She now faces Marta Kostyuk. The Ukrainian continued her strong form as she got past Yulia Putintseva comfortably. Kostyuk, who won her second tour-level career title at the Open de Rouen last week, made a fast start and maintained her level in the second set to win 6-1 6-3.
They have faced each other on six previous occasions, with Pegula leading 4-2, but this will be their first match on clay. Kostyuk will take some confidence from her previous meeting, which saw her beat Pegula in the semi-finals of the Brisbane International earlier this year, with the drop of just three games.
