Coco Gauff vs. Jessica Pegula: Preview

World No. 3 Coco Gauff is in the pinkest of her form at the moment, with everything she touches turning gold. With her blistering run of form still ongoing, she hopes to add to the four titles she has managed to win this year. Having managed to win the ASB Classic at the start of the year, she fell badly out of form before finally regaining her touch at the Citi Open. 

She won the Citi Open and the Cincinnati Masters in back-to-back successions until, finally, the young talent managed to get her hands on the first Grand Slam title. She beat World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to lift the US Open and now has the chance to move up in the rankings with all to play for in the end-of-season tournament. 

At the ongoing WTA Finals, she beat Ons Jabeur in the first group stage match by 6-0, 6-1, followed by a 6-0, 7-5 loss against Iga Swiatek in the second match. In her last group stage matchup, she came from behind to beat Marketa Vandrousova by a scoreline of 5-7, 7-6, 6-3.

Seeded fifth Jessica Pegula has quite had the season she would have dreamt of and hoped for at the start of the year. She just has one title in her bag this year, which she earned at the recently played Canadian Open.

Her consistency at different tournaments has helped her stay in the top 10 rankings, as she managed to earn a quarterfinal finish at the Australian Open and semi-final finishes at the Miami Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, Charleston Open, and Citi Open.

She also emerged as the runner-up at the Qatar Open and would want to finish off the year with an all-important win at the ongoing WTA Finals. 

At the ongoing WTA Finals, Pegula beat Elena Rybakina in the first-match encounter by 7-5, 6-2, and then went on to beat top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka by a scoreline of 6-4, 6-3. In her last group stage matchup, she knocked off Maria Sakarri by a 6-3, 6-2 straight sets victory to seal the top spot in her group.
