Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WTA tennis match.
Aryna Sabalenka
Aryna Sabalenka has generally struggled in title matches. This season, the world number three has claimed just one tournament victory in Melbourne seven months ago. Since then, Aryna has fallen short in two finals: in Madrid and Rome. Moreover, she has won only two of her last eight final matches. Her overall record in decisive matches on North American courts is equally unimpressive (1-4).
Jessica Pegula
Jessica Pegula is approaching the main American event of the season in top form. The American is currently enjoying a nine-match winning streak. During this period, she clinched the title in Toronto and now has her sights set on Cincinnati. If she succeeds, Pegula could become the first female player since 1973 to secure both titles in a row.
Aryna Sabalenka - Jessica Pegula Prediction
This season, Pegula has been unbeatable in title matches (2-0). Additionally, she has triumphed in four of her last six finals. The odds of her success are simply too favorable to ignore.
