THE PREDICTION
World number four Jessica Pegula overcame an inspired performance by fellow American Lauren Davis on Monday, taking the first and third sets either side of a 10-8 tiebreak in the second. The 29-year-old finally won her first Masters title in Guadalajara late last season to cap off what had been a remarkable 2022 but she has struggled to find that same intensity and consistency so far this year, at least since transitioning to the clay. World number 78 Cristina Bucsa is enjoying her best season on tour so far with some eye-catching results and she looks competitive here after a three-set victory over Kamilla Rakhimova, ousting the Russian 11-9 in the third-set tiebreak. A first meeting between the two should be going Pegula’s way without much trouble but if the American has a weakest surface it is probably grass. The sensible option is taking Pegula to win outright.
