Jessica Pegula vs Yuliia Starodubtseva prediction

Jessica Pegula will look to retain her Charleston title when she takes on Yuliia Starodubtseva in the final.

The top seed fought hard to see off fellow-American Iva Jovic 6-4 5-7 6-3 and stretch her record to 23-4 for the season.

The world number 89 Starodubtseva will be a heavy underdog after she reached her first ever WTA final with a crushing 6-1 6-4 victory over Madison Keys.

The Ukrainian has enjoyed a sparkling week and is arguably playing the better tennis, but Pegula just keeps finding ways to dig out wins.

The American will have all the expectation on her shoulders but experience should be telling in this situation and Jpeg should find the answers in the big moments to successfully conclude her title defence.
