โญ Editorโs Prediction
Jessica Pegulaโs recent form stands head and shoulders above her opponentโs: her high percentage of sets won and lack of straight-set defeats make her the clear favorite in this match-up.

Given these factors, the game difference could be significant. The recommended bet is a -6.5 game handicap on Jessica Pegula.
