Iga Swiatek continues with her title defence in Cincinnati, with the seventh seed set to meet third seed Jessica Pegula in the semi-finals. These two are familiar foes, having faced off 12 times before. Swiatek has the head-to-head advantage, and having only dropped one set here, our prediction is for her to progress.
This season the two players faced off on the Rome clay, and Pegula lost her bid to win three straight matches against Swiatek. She was beaten in straight sets, and here the American will be looking to bounce back.
For the second straight outing, Pegula lost a set, as she battled Amanda Anisimova in the last round. The world No. 3 has, as a result, spent over two hours more on the court than Swiatek.
Swiatek is set to play in her fourth semi-final of the season, and she will be keen not to lose a second time. In her latest last-four outing, the Pole posted a win to progress to the Toronto final, which she eventually won.
The 25-year-old is going for a second straight title at Cincinnati and in as many weeks. It will be tough for Pegula to handle her as she comes well rested, her opponent in the quarters having pulled out.
Swiatek was set to have a cracker against Elena Rybakina, but in just the opening set, the Kazakh retired.

Our Jessica Pegula vs Iga Swiatek Prediction
Each of the last four meetings between these two players was settled in straight sets, but we see a change here. The two players have enjoyed good runs ahead of this face-off, and the competitive levels they’ve shown can only point to a deciding set being called here.
Each one of them has won a title on a hard court this year, which further raises the stakes. We feel Swiatek will have a slight advantage, though, having spent fewer hours on the court. Our prediction for Jessica Pegula v Iga Swiatek for the exact score: 1-2.
