Sabalenka vs Pegula Prediction 4 September 2025

Sabalenka continues to cruise at the US Open, with the world number one yet to drop a set. While it's true that she hasn't faced particularly strong opponents so far, apart from Leylah Fernandez, who has previously won the US Open, the quarterfinal turned out to be a breeze for the Belarusian. Her opponent withdrew due to a knee injury sustained in a match against Rybakina. Sabalenka will have four days of rest before the semifinal, which could disrupt her rhythm and have a negative impact. An unplanned break means a slight adjustment in preparation plans. Nevertheless, Sabalenka knows exactly how to prepare and perform in such matches. Moreover, her head-to-head record against Pegula underscores Sabalenka's dominance.

The American faced little resistance in the US Open quarterfinals. Pegula took on Barbora Krejcikova, who had endured several intense and grueling matches leading up to this encounter. The Czech simply ran out of steam. Pegula triumphed 6-3, 6-3, showcasing her skills at the net. However, Jessica didn't exert herself too much, maintaining a steady performance without aggression. Throughout the tournament, the American has not dropped a set and hasn't even been pushed to a tiebreak. Hard courts are Pegula's favorite surface, where she feels most comfortable, bolstered by the enthusiastic support of the fans. Jessica is determined to fight until the very end, especially as she aims to surpass last year's result and finally clinch the title.
