Two players who've faced several times before will clash in Wuhan on Wednesday, when Jelena Ostapenko and Jessica Pegula will battle it out. These two are meeting for the seventh time, and for the sixth time on a hard surface. Pegula has won four of the previous six, but Ostapenko has only lost one of those six in straight sets, so let's not be surprised if she gets very competitive here.
As you would expect, Jessica Pegula is the favorite ahead of this match, but we cannot ignore the fact that the world number four has not played since the US Open, while she's up against a player who in form, a player who is more than capable of tussling with the big dogs on her day. Given this and the fact that she has a decent record of making life tough for Pegula, Jelena Ostapenko is worth betting on to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat.

Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Jessica Pegula Prediction
It really is important not to overlook the fact that Jessica Pegula has not played a competitive match in over a month. In contrast, Jelena Ostapenko has been keeping very busy, and she already has a match under her belt in Wuhan, which should give her a preparation edge over the higher-ranked player.
If we also consider that she has a positive record against Pegula, losing only one of the last five renewals of this match in straight sets, a bet on the Latvian to win at least one set really does start to look too leniently priced at -133.
