Jessica Pegula of the United States currently stands as a slight -115 favorite against Ekaterina Alexandrova of Russia in the round of 16 at the 2025 Wuhan Open on Thursday.
Is Pegula a strong bet on the moneyline market?
Current Form:
After reaching at least the quarterfinals in her last two tournaments, Pegula moved one win away from another final-eight appearance following her gritty victory over Hailey Baptiste 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 on Wednesday. Pegula was forced to play a three-setter for the fifth consecutive time after Baptiste launched a furious fight back in the second set. Pegula persevered once again, coming through with a handful of clutch shots to best Baptiste in the third-set tiebreaker. Pegula improved to 5-1 in her last six matches.
Meanwhile, Alexandrova cruised into the quarterfinal round after earning back-to-back straight-set victories over rising stars Victoria Mboko of Canada 6-3, 6-2 and Ann Li of the United States 7-6, 6-2. Alexandrova, who finished runner-up to Iga Swiatek at the Korea Open, can secure her third WTA 1000 quarterfinal appearance with a signature win over Pegula on Thursday.

Alexandrova is 3-2 head-to-head against Pegula. These two have already played each other thrice this year, with Alexandrova winning at the Doha Open 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 and the Stuttgart Open. Pegula earned her lone win of the year against the Russian in Charleston in the semifinal round, 6-2, 2-6, 7-5. Pegula is 4-6 against the WTA top-20 players this year, while Alexandrova is 9-6 against these players.

This will be a brutal duel, and the outcome will probably be settled in three sets.
