Jessica Pegula vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction
Pegula's current run of form and record against Ajla Tomljanovic on the WTA Tour make her the outright favorite to win the match. The American won 19 out of 28 points on her first serve in her last match and served three aces while producing four double points.
Pegula has incredible defensive skills while producing powerful groundstrokes and will look to dictate the play from the start of the match. Her mentality and game reading have also enhanced over the years, and this will come in very handy for her.
Tomljanovic's first-serve numbers have not been particularly good so far in Charleston, as she won 49 out of 79 points (62%), serving four aces. The Aussie has also served nine double faults and cannot afford to have too many of those against someone of Pegula's quality.
Tomljanovic will look to be aggressive from the start of the match, but she cannot afford to produce too many unforced errors and gift the American points. While the Aussie is no slouch, it is difficult to see Pegula lose given her current run of form.
Pick: Pegula to win in straight sets.
