The last game between Pegula and Garcia in Sydney earlier this year was a close one. Garcia won with a score of 6-4, 7-6. In Cincinnati, both players are at a high level with a strong serve. We don’t think Jessica will get past Caroline easily today.
In the upcoming match, we expect an even game, in which the tennis players will reliably hold their serve.
Jessica Pegula has been improving on the American hard court series. In Washington, she had a second-round defeat to Daria Saville (5-7, 4-6). In Toronto, she reached the semi-finals, where she lost to eventual winner Simona Halep (6-2, 3-6, 4-6).
In Cincinnati, Pegula has two tough wins over Marta Kostyuk (6-7, 6-1, 6-2) and Emma Raducanu (7-5, 6-4). In the game against Emma, Jessica was very reliable on her serve with 73% of her points. Emma managed only one break in the match.
In four of Pegula’s last five hard-court matches, more than 20 games have been played.
Caroline Garcia had a poor showing at her first hard-court tournament in Toronto. At that event, she lost in the first round to Alize Cornet (6-3, 3-6, 3-6). In Cincinnati, Caroline managed to improve her game.
In the USA, Garcia got her first qualification in a tough three-set battle against Diane Parry and Andrea Petkovic. In the main draw, Caroline beat Petra Martic (6-3, 6-3), Maria Sakkari (7-6, 6-7, 6-1) and Elise Mertens (6-4, 7-5). Against Elise, Caroline gave up her serve twice but managed to break four times to win and reach the quarter-finals.
Caroline Garcia has won 5 of her last 6 matches as an underdog.
