THE PREDICTION

This promises to be a proper thriller on Saturday between the current and former US number ones. World number three Jessica Pegula beat qualifier Katherine Sebov in commanding fashion on Thursday for a solid start to her Miami Open campaign and she will be hoping to put a gut-wrenching three-set defeat to Petra Kvitova in the round of 16 at Indian Wells behind her ahead of this showdown. World number 30 Danielle Collins beat Viktorya Tomova in straight sets on Thursday to put her own chastening defeat behind her after an out-of-character upset against Dalma Galfi at this stage of Indian Wells but she will have to beat Pegula for the first time if she is to progress as Pegula won their only tour-level encounter in three sets at the Canada Masters back in 2021. Ultimately, a lot of this match will depend on the reaction of the crowd in what is surely nailed-on to be under the lights. Collins is the more ferocious player, capable of flashes of unplayable tennis, but Pegula’s remarkable consistency has been her superpower for over a year on tour now and she can be backed to edge through outright here.
