Jessica Pegula vs Taylor Townsend Prediction & Picks - WTA Cincinnati Open
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Newly crowned National Bank Open champion Jessica Pegula will try to go deeper into the Cincinnati Open on Friday when she vies for the quarterfinal round against fellow American Taylor Townsend. Pegula can get closer to pairing her National Bank Open title with another WTA 1000 title in Cincinnati if she can overcome what is expected to be a fiery challenge from Townsend. The Baton Raton, Florida native punched her way into the round-of-16 after pulling off a come-from-behind win over Karolina Muchova 5-7 6-4 6-2. Pegula scored 97 points in the match, 52 service points, and 45 return points. Meanwhile, Townsend advanced to the round of 16 on Thursday behind a 6-1 2-6 6-1 upset over No.9 seed Daria Kasatkina of Russia. Townsend, a qualifier, now won four matches in a row, beating the likes of Katie Volynets 6-0 6-3 and Caroline Dolehide 3-6 6-4 7-6(7).

Our Jessica Pegula vs Taylor Townsend Prediction
Pegula carries a six-match winning streak into her match with Townsend. The American’s 17-5 hard court record (77 percent win rate) in 2024 suggests that she’s almost unbeatable on the surface this year. Townsend has shown over the past four days that she could mix it up with best and brightest of women’s tennis. However, she also must understand that beating Pegula in her current form would require a perfect game from her. Until now, she has yet to salvage a big win over a top-10 player in the WTA Tour. Pegula is rated world’s No.6 in the WTA World Rankings. Our betting prediction for Jessica Pegula vs. Taylor Townsend: Pegula will win 2-0, -105, at BetMGM.
