The WTA Charleston defending champion Jessica Pegula will be targeting a second straight title when she meets Yuliia Starodubtseva in the final. The two are meeting for the first time ever, on the back of impressive runs here. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Pegula one again dropped a set as she battled her way to the final, this time beating Iva Jovic in a match that lasted over 2.5 hours.
The world number five has incredibly won nine straight matches at Charleston, dropping a set in six. A winner of the Dubai title in February, Pegula has compiled a 23-4 record for the season.
Starodubtseva brings to this game a lot of freshness, having only dropped one set in Charleston. The Ukrainian is making her debut at this event, yet she is a match away from being crowned champion.
Though she’s played one more match than Pegula, Starodubtseva has spent three hours less on the court. In her latest outing, she needed just an hour and 13 minutes to see off a former Charleston champion, Madison Keys.
That was her fourth straight-set win out of five. The win lifted her to a record 53rd in the live rankings. In the last 12 months, Starodubtseva has a 0-3 record against top-10 players.

Our Jessica Pegula vs Yuliia Starodubtseva Prediction
Jessica Pegula has more than one advantage going into this encounter. She has dominated matches against players ranked as low as Starodubtseva, and she has an understanding of the Charleston terrain. What seems to be working against her is that she is regularly dropping sets.
That has made her play longer matches. Starodubtseva will be looking to further wear her down, with the Ukrainian a bit fresher. Experience should run supreme, though. Our prediction for Jessica Pegula v Yuliia Starodubtseva is for the exact score: 2-1.
