Jessica Pegula

The American athlete had a good season, although she did not win the majors, and the titles were not so prestigious. No matter how hard it is, Pegula deservedly got to the final tournament. The athlete played the key match of the group round in the first round, when she defeated compatriot Coco Goff – 6:3, 6:7, 6:2. In the second round, there was a decent defeat against the leader of the world ranking Aryna Sobolenko – 4:6, 6:2, 3:6. Pegula played her last match against the Italian Jasmine Paolini, it was desirable to win in two sets, and Jessica coped with this task – 6:2, 6:3.

Winning the Final Tournament is a significant achievement, so the American tennis player has the motivation, as well as the necessary qualities.

Yelena Rybakina

Rybakina frankly looked weak this season, more was expected from the athlete, because she definitely should have been in the top 5. The tennis player lacked stability, her health failed, and she played uncertainly in places. Near the end of the season, Rybakina got in shape, which allowed her to get to the final tournament.

The athlete spent the group stage brilliantly, winning all three meetings. In the first round, the tennis player confidently defeated Amanda Anisimov – 6:3, 6:1. The main victory was in the second round, when Rybakina dealt with the formidable Iga Svyontek – 3:6, 6:1, 6:0. The tennis player was supposed to play the third match against Madison Keys, but the American withdrew from the tournament, she was replaced in this match by the “neutral” Ekaterina Alexandrova, whom she managed to beat in two games – 6:4, 6:4. Rybakina is clearly on the mend and is capable of beating any opponent.

Personal meetings

In the eyes in confrontations, the American is still leading with a score of 3:2, the last match of the athletes took place at the Billie Jean King Cup, then Rybakina easily won 6:4, 6:1.

Programnose

High-level tennis players from the top 10 meet, Rybakina is a slight favorite, this is explained by the fact that the athlete won her group. Pegula is also in good shape, so it is worth waiting for an interesting battle. I consider a bet on a total of more than 20.5 games at 1.62 to be promising here.
