Current Form:
Jessica Pegula is on the verge of another quarterfinal appearance at a WTA 1000 event as the top-tier American battles the dangerous Jaqueline Cristian in the fourth round.
Pegula opened as a massive -870 favorite in this match against Cristian, who is 1-14 against the top-10 players.
Pegula punched her ticket to the fourth round with a masterful win over Leylah Annie Fernandez 6-2, 6-2. Pegula is now 18-3 on the season, having already captured a WTA 1000 title in Dubai and reached the semifinal of every big tournament she competed this year except the Indian Wells Open.
Meanwhile, Cristian is eyeing her first quarterfinal appearance in a WTA 1000 event after coming up a win short in Dubai. The Romanian is a solid 11-7 on the 2026 WTA season, though this will be the first time she will be playing a fourth-round match in her career.

Our Jaqueline Cristian vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
Jessica Pegula cruises to a lopsided win over Jaqueline Cristian.
Pegula will cover a wide spread in this match, just as brutal as she did in their first meeting when she absolutely annihilated the Romanian in 13 games.
Despite her win over an out-of-form Ekaterina Alexandrova, Cristian doesn’t stand much chance against Pegula, who finished runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka in this tournament a year ago.
In two matches in Miami, Pegula has won 82 percent of her first serves and faced only two breakpoints. She has also converted 8 of 12 breakpoint chances in this tournament, morphing into a formidable two-way threat for the remaining competitors in this tournament.
