Fourth seed Jessica Pegula has made it to the Dubai Tennis Championship quarter-finals once again, where she will take on 12th seed Clara Tauson. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will play Mirra Andreeva or Amanda Anisimova for a place in the final. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Tauson has been in strong form this week and managed to win her three fixtures without losing a set. This strong start to the week will have her confident of improving on her runner-up finish here last season.
Tauson defeated Magda Linette to advance to the last eight. Despite this strong form, the 23-year-old, who has compiled a 7-5 record, has dropped to 17th in the live ranking.
Jessica Pegula defeated Iva Jovic in straight sets to set up this last-eight showdown with Tauson. Yet to lose a set this week, the American has improved to 10 wins from 12 outings in 2026.
Eight of her victories have been by straight sets. A semi-finalist in Dubai in 2023, Pegula has made it to the semis in both tournaments she has participated in this year, in Brisbane and Melbourne.
This strong start to the year has seen her move up to fifth in the live ranking.
