Jessica Pegula is coming off a straight set win over Petra Kvitova that took 17 games to decide.

Swiatek has won 2 of the 3 meetings against Pegula, including the most recent match this year in the French Open. Pegula’s only win over Swiatek came in 2019 Washington.
Swiatek is going to be the favorite for obvious reasons, but she’s been beatable over these last couple of months, and her most recent effort should raise some eyebrows. Pegula is playing some of the best tennis of her life, and she looked comfortable against a respectable opponent on Monday. Of course, Pegula will also have the crowd behind her, which never hurt.
I’ll take a shot with Pegula and the big plus money.
