Pegula will come into the tie with a career Hardcourt record of 149-89 and is 29-11 on the surface for the season having a season record of 39-18 across all surfaces. Azarenka will take the court with a career Hardcourt record of 340-111 and is 16-5 on the surface this season while having an overall surface record of 26-8 for the season.

Looking at these numbers, their recent form and past few performances, it seems that Victoria Azarenka will be heading into the next round given her better experience of playing in these big matches but Jessica will surely make the match exciting as she comes high on confidence after good wins this week and is hunting her maiden WTA-1000 trophy.

Prediction: Victoria Azarenka to win in 3-sets.
