The second set of games in Group 1 of the WTA Finals will take place on Tuesday. Both Marta Kostyuk and Jessica Pegula will be seeking a victory here after they lost their opening matches. Kostyuk was a late replacement in this outdoor hard court tournament and has lost five of her last six matches. Our prediction here is Jessica Pegula wins.
With this being the round-robin stage of the tournament, there's still hope of reaching the last four for both of these players. Jessica Pegula at least won a set in her defeat to Coco Gauff in her opening match at Indian Wells. Pegula has won one ATP Tour outdoor hard court title in 2026.
There have been six previous matches between these two players. Pegula leads 4-3 and it's 4-2 on this surface.
The most recent hard court match between them was won by Kostyuk in early 2026. Kostyuk only came into this group when top seed Elena Rybakina pulled out. Her opening match was against Linda Noskova and ended in a straight sets defeat with Kostyuk winning only six games.
That continued her poor recent run of form. The only 'victory' she's had in her last six scheduled matches was against Taylor Townsend who withdrew.

Our Marta Kostyuk vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
Both players here are on losing runs. Jessica Pegula lost her opening group match in three sets to Coco Gauff. That was her third successive defeat, but she's been playing some very highly ranked players including Aryna Sabalenka. Four of her six previous matches played on this surface against Kostyuk have been won.
Marta Kostyuk came into this group at the last moment. Her opening match didn't go well with a straight sets loss to Linda Noskova. Her last win on court was on September 4. Our Marta Kostyuk v Jessica Pegula prediction is Jessica Pegula wins.
