Analysis and prediction of the final match of the US Open Jessica Pegula – Aryna Sabalenka (07/09/2024)
This is the second time that Aryna Sabalenka has managed to win the US Open. Last season, in the final, she also faced an American, but Cori Gauff. And she lost. Now the Belarusian will have a match with Jessica Pegula.
The 30-year-old American tennis player showed excellent results on hard courts before participating in the US Open. First she won the tournament in Toronto, defeating Amanda Anisimova in the final, and then she won in Cincinnati. In the final match Jessica faced Sabalenka and lost 3:6, 5:7.
Pegula will now be highly motivated to take revenge on the Belarusian. She had a very difficult journey to the US Open final. In the quarter-finals, the American defeated world number one Iga Swiatek (6-2, 6-4). Isn’t this a bet on success? In the semi-finals Jessica defeated Karolina Muchova (1-6, 6-4, 6-2).
But Arina has reached her peak form and will clearly be stronger than Swiatek and Muchova. She won the Cincinnati tournament, removing the polka from her path. And then, as we mentioned above, Jessica herself.
In the quarter-finals of the US Open, Sabalenka defeated Zheng Qingwen (6-1, 6-2) and in the semi-finals Emma Navarro (6-3, 7-6). It would seem that at such a late stage it would be time to show fatigue. But it seems that Arina is in full order in this regard. Two encounters with such tough opponents and not a single set lost.
Arina has a very strong serve, which is difficult to handle even for the most experienced tennis players. She often converts her first serve, has a powerful shot and likes to play aggressively, putting pressure on her opponents. The last few years have been good for Sabalenka. She learned to have full control of her performance and her emotions.
Pegula is resilient and driven. But finding enough arguments in favour of her victory is problematic. Another thing is Sabalenka, who even has the results of head-to-head matches on her side. It is time for the world number two to take the US Open. I couldn’t think of a better time. However, it is possible that the final will last three sets. Let’s bet on Sabalenka to win and the total is over 20.5 games by 2.23.
Tender: Aryna Sabalenka’s win and the total over 20.5 matches at 2.23.
