Match Predict – Handicap (-5) for Swiatek

Pegula defeated Swiatek (6-2, 6-2) in a United Cup match earlier this year. Today, we expect a confident rematch. Still, it is noticeable that Iga is much more confident in Doha than in the Australian tournaments. Against Collins and Kudermetova, the Polish tennis player showed her superiority in the first games and tried to play very aggressively straight away. We don’t think Jessica can cope with such an onslaught. Especially as the American was already having problems against Sakkari.

Total Games Under 20

In two games in Doha, Swiatek has only allowed one game each to her opponents. Given the current form of the world number one, we don’t expect the upcoming final to be a long one.

Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Iga Swiatek vs Jessica Pegula

Iga Swiatek:

Two matches – less than two hours on the court. Iga showed with all her might that she had come to Doha for another title.

On Friday, Swiatek defeated Veronika Kudermetova (6-0, 6-1) in 57 minutes.

The Russian had played three gruelling matches before, but the main reason for her defeat was definitely not fatigue. The Polish player showed the most effective tennis, losing only five points on her serve.

A similar situation was in the match against Danielle Collins (6-0, 6-1). The American lasted just 54 minutes.

In the quarterfinals, Swiatek was due to face Belinda Bencic, but the Swiss, realising what awaited her, withdrew due to overwork.

Iga Swiatek has won eight straight matches at the Qatar Open. She is the reigning champion.

Jessica Pegula:

Pegula was also among the seeded and started straight from the second round. 

However, her route to the final was far from easy. In the first match, Jessica hardly defeated Jelena Ostapenko (6:2, 2:6, 7:5). In the decisive set, the tennis player from Latvia led with a break, but in the end was unable to take advantage.

Next was a victory over Beatriz Haddad-Maia (6:3, 6:2).

In her semi-final match against Maria Sakkari, the American again needed a third set (6:2, 4:6, 6:1).

Pegula has won 11 of her 13 matches this season.

Jessica Pegula has lost six of her last seven matches as an outsider.
