SOFIA KENIN VS JESSICA PEGULA PREDICTION

To come a test as stern as Emma Raducanu will have been a massive boost to Sofia Kenin’s belief that she can discover the magic that led her all the way to the Australian Open title back in 2020. Unfortunately for Kenin, she’s been dealt a real draw of death, with her reward for beating Raducanu a clash with Pegula, who looked every inch a potential champion in the way she brushed past Rogers.

The worry for Kenin really is inconsistency and against a player of Pegula’s quality, that may well see her come unstuck here. Someone like Pegula will not let Kenin off the hook and with that in mind, the smart move is backing Pegula to come out on top in this eye-catching contest.
