Top seed Jessica Pegula’s chase for another title at Washington is well on course, as she prepares to take on fourth seed Diana Shnaider. The two will face off in the semis to mark their fourth career meeting. Pegula has a perfect record in this fixture, and our prediction backs her to extend it.
Pegula is coming off her 39th win of the season after seeing off Anna Kalinskaya in straight sets in the quarters. The American is having a superb campaign, and here she is gunning for her third title after Dubai and Charleston.
The world No. 3 is set for her 10th semi-final of the season and looks set to go all the way to a second title here.
Shnaider is enjoying a superb debut at Washington, and in this encounter she is presented a chance for a first semi-final win of the season. The Russian has been to the last four twice this season: at the French Open and in Adelaide.
She is coming off a straight-set win over Liudmila Samsonova in the quarters, meaning she hasn’t dropped a set this week. The 22-year-old has now compiled a 21-15 record and is 18th in the live rank.
There are a lot of positives to take from that ahead of a match against a player she has never beaten. In her latest meeting with Pegula, Shnaider finally managed to win a set.
