Paula Badosa would be the heavy favourite to win this match. The Spaniard is one of the top players in the women’s game and has had some good performances this season. She would ideally like to win a title soon this season. Meanwhile, Pegula has impressed so far both in this tournament and this year in general. The American had an amazing run at the Australian Open and has since not looked back.

Match Prediction- Badosa to win in straight sets.
