Jessica Pegula vs Elena Rybakina prediction

Pegula will enter the match as the favorite to win, but Rybakina is a dangerous opponent on her day. Pegula has a solid baseline game and hits her shots with tremendous power and accuracy. She will look to dictate rallies and put pressure on her opponent right from the start. Pegula's second serve is perhaps her biggest weakness. She might have to be a little more aggressive in that department against the Kazakh, although that could lead to more double faults. Rybakina has a strong serve and will look to fetch as many free points as she can. She hits powerfully off of both wings, although her game lacks variety at times. While Rybakina is a powerful hitter, Pegula is an excellent defender and should be able to absorb the pressure and turn the tables on her opponent. Expect Pegula to come out on top.
