Jessica Pegula faces Barbora Krejcikova in their second match at the WTA Finals after both lost their opening round-robin matches. Pegula was defeated by Coco Gauff in straight sets, while Krejcikova lost in three sets to Iga Swiatek.
Pegula, last year’s runner-up, needs a win to stay in contention but has been inconsistent, with three losses in her last four matches. She holds a 1-1 record against Krejcikova in previous meetings.
Krejcikova, the eighth seed, qualified by winning Wimbledon but has lost five of her last six matches. After winning the first set against Swiatek, she ultimately fell in three sets.
We predict over 19.5 games will be played in this match.
