Jessica Pegula vs Lauren Davis: Preview
The fourth-seeded American national, Jessica Pegula, has been handed a favorable matchup in the first round against World No. 44 Lauren Davis. The majority of Jessica Pegula’s recent Grand Slams have seen her put on some excellent displays. The grass-court major has been Jessica Pegula’s weakest among the four. She has not been past the third round at Wimbledon and has a 3-3 win-loss record.
The experienced American, Lauren Davis, will be playing her 10th Wimbledon and her 15th match in SW19 this season. She comes to her third grand slam of the season with second-round exits in both prior grand slams. The third-round qualification in 2019 is her best showing at Wimbledon, with a 50% win rate in her 14 matches.
Jessica Pegula has had some good performances over the season but has failed to go big in any of those events. She was defeated in the quarterfinals of the Eastbourne International by Coco Gauff in straight sets (6-3, 6-3), leading to the Grand Slam Major. She would like to continue her good performances, but she will try to go all the way this time around. Lauren Davis, on the other hand, would have hoped for an easier draw in the first round but would take her chances to cause an upset in the first round itself.
The head-to-head record between the two favors the world number 4 with a 3-2 advantage. Both Americans will be facing each other for the first time in any grass-court event. Jessica Pegula has defeated Davis in their last three meetings.
Jessica Pegula vs Lauren Davis: Prediction
Pegula should continue her form against her countrywomen in the first-round match-up between the two. The all-American match-up would provide a good start to test herself in the 2 week-long events. The experience Lauren Davis brings with her could act as the only obstacle for Jessica Pegula, but she is expected to comfortably pass the hurdles.
Prediction: Pegula to win in straight sets
