Jessica Pegula, the third seed in Montreal, will begin her title defence in the second round against long-standing rival Maria Sakkari. They have had 11 previous meetings, more recently in January. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Sakkari was in shaky form in the opening round as she made her return to this event. The Greek number one needed three sets to get past the wildcard Carson Branstine. Her struggles in the game amplified the season the former top 10 player is having.
Currently placed 68th in the live ranking, Sakkari has so far compiled a losing record. She has lost 21 of 39 matches and is yet to advance past the quarter-finals at tour level. Sakkari has defeated Pegula five times, four on hard courts.
Jessica Pegula is the two-time Canadian Open defending champion. She is seeking to become only the sixth woman to win three titles here in the open era.
The American will hope returning to this event sees the end of her recent slump. Pegula has lost twice in a row, more recently in the second round in Washington to eventual champion Leylah Fernandez.
Nevertheless, the world number four has been one of the in-form players this season. She has won 35 matches, culminating in three titles as well as two runner-up finishes.

Our Maria Sakkari vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
This should turn out to be an exciting battle as both players are well known to each other on the court. They have previously faced off 11 times, with both winning at least five duels. Pegula has the head-to-head advantage and has dominated this series recently.
With three straight wins, we expect her to come out victorious once again as she seeks a third straight Canadian Open title. The American has also been one of the in-form players on tour, whereas Sakkari has lacked consistency. Our prediction for Maria Sakkari v Jessica Pegula is for Pegula to win in three sets.
