Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula Preview

Coco Gauff reached her third final at a WTA 1000 tournament this season with a straight-sets win over Jasmine Paolini. The match took 19 games to decide and lasted an hour and 23 minutes. The first set featured five breaks of serve, and Gauff managed to break Paolini’s serve three times, and crucially in the 10th game to seal the set 6-4.

The first six games of the second set went against the server, but it was Gauff who managed a foothold in the set and held serve in her next two games while breaking Paolini one more time to complete a 6-4, 6-3 victory. She hit 1 ace and 7 double faults. Gauff landed 73% of first serves in play and won 53% of first serve points (17/32). Gauff won 17% of second serve points (2/12) and saved one of six break points in the match. She is chasing her second title of the season.

Jessica Pegula became the first player to defeat Aryna Sabalenka in Wuhan. The American ended Sabalenka’s historic 20-match win streak in the tournament in style. Just as she has done all week, Pegula came back from a set down to beat Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 in two hours and 22 minutes.

Pegula was made to wait for victory. She was on the brink when Sabalenka served for the match at 5-4 up, but had the match on her racket at 6-5 with two match points, but she could not take any. Eventually, she prevailed in the tiebreak 7-2. Pegula is chasing her fourth title of the season.

Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula Prediction

What’s particularly hard to believe is that Gauff and Pegula have not met in any tournament this season. Their last match was at the 2024 WTA Finals, where Gauff won in two sets. This one in Wuhan is teetering towards a potential three-setter, and if that’s the case, Pegula could have the upper hand. She’s been durable and effective when the matches go the distance this swing, but there is no doubt that Gauff’s upside is far greater, and if the 21-year-old can just clean up her serve, she might be hoisting her second title of the season.
