The WTA Cincinnati title match will be an all-American affair pitting world No. 4 Cori Gauff against third seed Jessica Pegula. These two will be facing off for the 10th time in their careers and fifth on an outdoor hardcourt. The last two meetings between these two have been hotly contested, needing a decider, and our prediction is for the same here.
Gauff looks set to win her first title of the year after falling in two finals. A former champion here, in 2023 Gauff has compiled a 39-13 record so far.
The 22-year-old has had a blistering run to the final, dropping just one set – in her opening match. In the semis, she made light work of Sara Bejlek’s challenge, winning 6-4, 6-1.
Pegula leads this encounter 5-4 and will be out to extend this as she seeks her first Cincinnati title. Going into her second final here, the 32-year-old has already bagged two tour titles – in Dubai and Charleston.
She had a great start to the week, beating Simona Waltert and Emma Navarro in straight sets. Things became a bit tougher in the three matches that followed, as she lost the second set in each of them.
In the semis she labored past defending champion Iga Swiatek, winning in two hours and 47 minutes. That was her 45th win of the season, while she has lost 11 times.

Our Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
For the third time this season, each of these two players will be featuring in a final. Gauff has lost her first two title matches, and she will feel this has to be her moment. The 22-year-old has blazed her way here, only dropping one set. Being younger and having played 35 games fewer than Pegula gives her a slight edge.
Pegula, who leads in head-to-head numbers, has played three more hours than Gauff, which could be to her disadvantage. With the expectation of a deciding set, our prediction for Coco Gauff v Jessica Pegula is for the exact score: 2-1.
