Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula have played three sets in their last three meetings. These two elites will meet again in the semifinals of the 2026 Berlin Ladies Open.
Aryna Sabalenka survived a serious upset bid from Nikola Bartunkova to reach the semifinal of the 2026 Berlin Ladies Open. Down a set and 0-4 in the second frame, Sabalenka banked on her elite service-breaking capabilities and big-match experience to pull off a 2-6, 7-6, 6-4 comeback win over the Czech.
Jessica Pegula also survived a thrilling duel with fellow American Madison Keys 7-6, 7-6. The world’s No.5 played through with ice in her veins as she delivered crucial points after crucial points in the two tiebreakers.
Matchup: Sabalenka and Pegula will meet for the 11th time in their storied rivalry. However, Saturday’s semifinal will mark the first time they will play each other on grass.
Caesars Sportsbooks still lists Sabalenka as the favorite at -220 after that close call against Bartunkova. Pegula carries a more profitable price tag of +165, but her 2-8 record against the world’s No.1makes her a perilous underdog pick in the moneyline.

Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Jessica Pegula and Aryna Sabalenka duke it out in another three-set classic.
Although Sabalenka enjoys a sizable head-to-head advantage over Pegula, her last three wins over the American did not come easily. The Belarusian needed three sets in each of these matches to outlast the pesky Pegula.
Pegula, who has only dropped three service games after two matches in Berlin, has the form and momentum to push Sabalenka to three sets again on grass.
Pegula would also be an intriguing pick at the spread and moneyline because she has a realistic shot at pulling off an upset here against a worn-out Sabalenka.
However, given that Sabalenka has won 80 percent of their matches, it would be wise to take the safer route and go with over 22.5 games.
