Elena Rybakina vs Jessica Pegula H2H record

At the Guadalajara Open in 2022, their most recent matchup necessitated a third-set tiebreaker.
Prediction
When World No. 3 Jessica Pegula faces the Kazakh on Friday, in their first semi-final match at the 2023 Miami Open, she will try to snap Elena Rybakina’s 12-match winning run.
The best two players in the world, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka, were recently defeated by Elena Rybakina which shows her strong current form.
Despite defeating the Kazakh in both of their previous meetings, Jessica Pegula still has a formidable opponent.
The American got a solid taste of the hard-hitting to come during her match against Potapova. But Rybakina has a more powerful weapon at her disposal, her serve, which has become crucial to her recent success.
The American does feel more at home on Miami’s fast courts, but Rybakina’s serve and groundstrokes will benefit from the terrain just as much as Pegula’s level hitting.
It will be crucial for the third seed to bother Rybakina for a sufficient amount of time. Her opponent is the favourite to win and will need assistance, barring fatigue.
