Jessica Pegula

The American tennis player spent this season at a solid level, but she did not have any phenomenal achievements. Titles in Austin, Charleston and Bad Homburg are good, but quite modest for the top level. At the majors, the best performance was the semi-finals at the US Open.

Pegula started the final tournament with a match against strong compatriot Coco Goff, whom she managed to beat in three games – 6:3, 6:7, 6:2. In the second set, Jessica was able to win back from 3:5, but still lost in the tie-break. The American has played against Sobolenko many times, so she knows in what key to play in order to have a chance to win.

Arina Sobolenko

The whole season, Sobolenko was in sight, without obvious failures, which allowed her to stay at the top of the world ranking. It can be noted only the fact that the “neutrals” did not quite make it to the finals this year, won only one out of three helmets, and there were defeats in decisive matches at other tournaments as well.

As before, the athlete’s main problem is her psychological stability, because in terms of power, it is difficult to resist her. Arina started the final tournament with a convincing victory over the Italian Jasmine Paolini – 6:3, 6:1. Of course, the tennis player wants to win these competitions for the first time in her career, especially, being at the top of the world ranking.

Personal meetings

The athletes played each other 11 times, a significant advantage here on Sobolenko’s side. This season, the tennis players crossed paths three times, 2:1 in favor of the “neutral”, but Pegula won the last match.

Prediction for the match

Bookmakers give a significant advantage to Sobolenko in this confrontation. No matter what, the “neutral” is more powerful, has an advantage in face-to-face meetings, and is also the first racket in the world. Pegula has her own advantages, due to which she is able to impose a fight. I will bet on a total of more than 20.5 games at 1.93, this bet was entered in the last five face-to-face confrontations.
