Command Analysis

Jessica Pegula

Current form
Pegula in Austin confidently confirms the status of the main favorite and moves through the tournament grid to the finals without any problems. Jessica went through two rounds in the classroom, defeated Rus (6-3, 6-2) and Parrizas Diaz (6-1, 6-3). There were expectations that Anna Blinkova would be able to put up a decent fight in the quarterfinals, but this did not happen – the American again won a convincing victory with a score of 6-2, 6-2.
Professional qualities
Jessica does not have outstanding anthropometric data. However, at the same time, she tries to play from a position of strength, constantly going on the attack. We also note that the American is a very versatile tennis player and is able to work reliably at a high pace on the back line without any problems.
Current indicators in the tour
Today, Pegula is the fourth racket of the world, and her best achievement is the third place in the world ranking. This year, Jessica has 11 wins in 15 matches played. At the same time, she has no titles, but in January she played in the finals in Adelaide. Undoubtedly, at home in Austin, she is trying to take her first trophy of the season.
Interesting facts for betting
- Pegula scored all 11 wins since the start of the season in two sets.
- In the previous five matches involving the American tennis player, no more than nine games were played in the first set.

Ajla Tomljanovic

Current form
Prior to the start in Austin, Tomljanovic was not considered among the contenders for a distant promotion on the grid, because she had only one victory in her asset since the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, Ayla went through three rounds, experienced huge problems in all the fights, and did not demonstrate stable play. Moreover, her rivals were not the most difficult – Volynets, Burrage, Shibahara.
Professional qualities
Ayla is more prone to prolonged pranks on the back line, but she is always ready to attack. Due to her experience, she can break the rhythm at the right moments, hold the ball on the back line, and wait for her opponents to make mistakes. In principle, Tomljanovic made it to the semifinals in Austin largely based on experience and not the most confident game.
Current indicators in the tour
Tomljanovic has modest figures for the season – four wins and three losses. At the same time, she won three of the four victories in Austin. At the moment, Isla occupies a modest 111th place in the rating.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last two matches in Austin, Tomljanovic played three sets apiece.
- Tiebreakers were played in two of the three matches on the way to the semifinals with the participation of Isla.

2.25Tip and bets
Tomljanovic won two of the three face-to-face confrontations with Pegula, but today it's hardly worth waiting for a sensation. The Australian tennis player spent her matches in Austin very uncertainly, and the opponents were far from the strongest.
