Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula Prediction: Trust Aryna to Win

Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula are the finalists in this year's WTA Cincinnati tournament. Both players entered the round of 32 and won all 4 matches to qualify for the final. Aryna Sabalenka comes into this final with an advantage and that's her 4:2 lead over Jessica Pegula on the h2h. 

Belarusian superstar Aryna Sabalenka has entered the final round of the WTA Cincinnati and she has the opportunity to add another trophy to her collection by beating Jessica Pegula in this final. She's been in remarkable form throughout the tournament, especially in the previous round where she defeated Iga Swiatek in straight sets. 

Aryna Sabalenka started off in the round of 32 against Elisabetta Cocciaretto and she won in straight sets. Then she progressed into the round of 16 and there she defeated Elina Svitolina, also in straight sets. Afterwards, she defeated Liudmila Samsomova in the quarter final in 3 sets. Finally, she entered the semi final round and defeated Iga Swiatek in straight sets. 

American superstar Jessica Pegula has also been quite remarkable in the WTA Cincinnati tournament. Being the 6th best player didn't give her so much support to get deep into the competition, but she fought her way through every round and she's hoping to beat Aryna Sabalenka in the final round. 

Jessica Pegula played her first game in the round of 32 against Karolina Muchova, and she won in 3 sets. Then she progressed into the round of 16 where she defeated Taylor Townsend in straight sets. Afterwards, she played against Leylah Fernandez in the quarter final and she won in 3 sets. Finally, she played against Paula Badosa in the semi final and she won in 3 sets.

In a battle that seems so close, that little difference in power tending in favor of Sabalenka is enough to give her the thin edge due to her present form. The doggedness of Pegula and her mental fortitude mean that this really could turn out as a match that goes either way. I'm tipping Sabalenka to win in three sets. This match could hinge on a few critical points, making it a must-watch for tennis fans.
