THE PREDICTION

World number four Jessica Pegula has been remarkably consistent at prestigious tournaments in recent seasons, making five quarter-finals amongst her past 10 Grand Slam appearances, but she has yet to make it past the third round at Wimbledon. The 29-year-old lost to doubles partner Coco Gauff in straight sets in the quarter-finals of the Eastbourne International this week to continues one of her drier spells in recent seasons but this looks a kind enough opener over fellow American Lauren Davis. World number 44 Davis won her third WTA title at the Hobart International earlier this season and she enjoyed a few strong runs on her favoured clay more recently but two defeats from two on grass suggests she may struggle here. Pegula leads Davis, also 29, 2-1 at tour-level but the fourth seed has significantly improved since their last encounter in 2019. The sensible call remains taking Pegula to win outright but straight sets should do it.
