THE PREDICTION
World number four Jessica Pegula received a bye to the round of 16 at the Qatar Open as the second seed in Doha but she has already played in the doubles this week, winning alongside fellow top seed Coco Gauff. The 28-year-old reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for a third-successive season before falling short against Victoria Azarenka but she claimed her first Masters title in Guadalajara late last season for a fitting reward for such an incredible 2022. World number 14 Jelena Ostapenko also made the last eight in Melbourne before losing to eventual runner-up Elena Rybakina but she is a tough player to pin down at the best of times, with this seasons’ results something of a mixed bag. A straight-sets victory over Madison Keys is always an impressive result but Pegula should be a significant step-up at this moment in time. The American won their previous encounter in straight sets at this exact stage of the Qatar Open two years ago and she can be backed to win again here.
