Aryna Sabalenka vs. Jessica Pegula: Match Preview

Aryna Sabalenka suffered disappointments in the first three Grand Slam events. At the Australian Open, she failed to complete the three-peat due to a three-set defeat to Madison Keys in the final.

The four-time Grand Slam champion then failed to end the French Open final in her favor with a three-set defeat to Coco Gauff. She then suffered defeat at the hands of eventual runner-up Amanda Anisimova in the Wimbledon semifinal, before ending her Grand Slam title drought at the US Open, defending her title against Anisimova.

The Belarusian has clinched four titles this year: the Brisbane International, Miami Open, Madrid Open, and the US Open. Before arriving in Wuhan, the 27-year-old failed to defend her title at the Wuhan Open due to her defeat to eventual runner-up Jessica Pegula. She also lost two more finals, to Mirra Andreeva at Indian Wells and to Jelena Ostapenko at the Stuttgart Open.

Pegula is chasing her fourth title of the season in Riyadh. She has featured in six finals so far this year, winning the ATX Open, Charleston Open, and the Bad Homburg Open by defeating McCartney Kessler, Sofia Kenin, and Iga Swiątek, respectively. The three finals that she lost were at the hands of Keys, Sabalenka, and Gauff at the Adelaide International, Miami Open, and the Wuhan Open, respectively.

Aryna Sabalenka vs. Jessica Pegula: Match Prediction

Both Sabalenka and Pegula are bidding to win the WTA Finals for the first time. The former has made her fifth consecutive appearance at the WTA Finals and has so far featured in one final, in 2022. She lost the match to Caroline Garcia. In the last two editions, she reached the semifinals. Last year, Gauff ended her run.

Pegula has made her fourth consecutive appearance at the WTA Finals. Like Sabalenka, the 2024 US Open finalist is also a former runner-up, reaching the championship clash in 2023 and losing the match to Swiatek. Last year, she failed to progress to the semifinals.

Pegula and Sabalenka have so far locked horns with each other 11 times, with the latter winning eight matches. Sabalenka was on a four-match winning streak until the Wuhan Open, where she was playing as the defending champion, and Pegula knocked her out in the last four.

Match prediction: Aryna Sabalenka to win in three sets.
