Petra Kvitova vs. Jessica Pegula 9/4/20 - US Open Tennis Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 09/03/2020 at 4:30 PM ET
Czech superstar Petra Kvitova has made it into the third round of the 2020 US Open. At this stage of the tournament, Kvitova will play against Jessica Pegula from the United States.
Jessica Pegula won her previous match in 3 sets. It was a close match but Jessica Pegula won vital points in the final set which allowed her to win the match. During the victory, Jessica Pegula impressed with her service as she won over 60% of her service points which allowed her to win 88% of her service games. It has been a strong tournament for Jessica Pegula but she must improve her game if she wishes to win this match as she is playing against the number 6 seed.
Looking at Petra Kvitova, the Czech superstar enters this match having beaten Kateryna Kozlova in straight sets in the previous round. It was a dominant performance by Kvitova as she won 90% of her service games and 3 return games. The serving was especially strong from Petra Kvitova as she won over 70% of her service points. Petra Kvitova is a hugely accomplished player and her record at this tournament is solid as she has made the quarterfinals twice. That being said, Kvitova has a strong record at Grand Slam tournaments as she has won Wimbledon twice and made the final of the Australian Open. Kvitova is an elite player and with many big names missing from this tournament, she will be hoping to challenge for the US Open title.
This will be the first time that Petra Kvitova and Jessica Pegula will be playing each other at a WTA event.
Despite her form in this tournament, I see Jessica Pegula losing this match. Petra Kvitova has been in outstanding form over the past few weeks and I see the Czech superstar continuing her dominance in this match. I see Petra Kvitova winning this match in straight sets.
