Jessica Pegula, 2-0 head-to-head vs. Donna Vekic, will try to score another dominant win over the Croatian in the second round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open.
Current Form:
Jessica Pegula looks to sustain her run of consistency at the 2026 Indian Wells Open. Pegula captured her first WTA 1000 title of the year in Dubai, racking up five consecutive wins over elite competition, including victories over Iva Jovic, Clara Tauson, Amanda Anisimova, and Elina Svitolina. In her championship match against Svitolina, Pegula delivered her best form, winning 79 percent of her first balls to hold 8 of 9 service games and breaking serves four times.
Trying to halt Pegula’s streak of seven straight semifinal appearances on the WTA Tour is former Paris Olympics silver medalist Donna Vekic, who gutted out a 7-6, 7-6 win over Tereza Valentova of the Czech Republic in the first round. Vekic leaned on her experience in pressure-packed situations to capture the big points in the two tiebreakers. It gave Vekic her first win on the WTA main tour.

Our Jessica Pegula vs Donna Vekić Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Jessica Pegula bests Donna Vekic 6-4, 6-3
Key Stats: Jessica Pegula is 2-0 vs. Donna Vekic head-to-head. Vekic is 0-5 vs the WTA top-5 players in the past two years.
What to Expect: If she plays to her usual level, Jessica Pegula will be an opponent nearly impossible to beat for Vekic, who is 1-5 on the WTA main tour this season. At her peak, Vekic was a dangerous opponent for everyone on the tour, including the top-tier players. Unfortunately, Vekic hasn’t been in the right form in the past two years or since reaching the semis of the Wimbledon Open in 2024. On Saturday, Pegula will remind Vekic of the wide chasm that separates the Croatian and the best on the tour.
Parlay Play: Since picking Jessica Pegula on the moneyline market doesn’t offer much value, the best move here is to parlay Jessica Pegula 2-0 Sets with Jessica Pegula Under 12.5 Games, which offers a decent -140 value. Pegula will be all over Vekic, cruising to a convincing win in the second round.
