Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina will collide on Friday, with the winner of their semifinal duel advancing to the championship match of the 2025 WTA Tour Finals.
Current Form:
Pegula secured her spot in the semifinal round of the 2025 WTA Tour Finals after besting Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 6-3 to finish the round-robin phase with a 2-1 record. Ranked No.5 in the world, Pegula reached the final four of this year-ending event on the WTA Tour calendar by edging Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 and beating Paolini. She also took world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka to three sets, 4-6, 6-2, 3-6, on Day 3.
Rybakina entered the semifinals with her immaculate record still intact after blasting alternate Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-4, 6-4. Rybakina was supposed to play Madison Keys for her final assignment of the round robin stage, but the American decided to pull out of the match because of illness, paving the way for Alexandrova to step in for her. Rybakina also defeated Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 6-1 and Iga Swiatek 3-6, 6-1, 6-0.

Our Jessica Pegula vs Elena Rybakina Prediction
Fearless Forecast: I am picking Elena Rybakina to win this match. The Kazakh is in blazing form, winning 9 of her last 10 matches and moving into the semifinal of the WTA Tour Finals without dropping a set. Moreover, Rybakina’s most recent win over Pegula happened in an indoor match, a women’s singles match during the Kazakhstan-USA World Group tie at the Billie Jean King Cup this year. Rybakina dismantled the American in this match, 6-4, 6-1. And while I expect Pegula to perform significantly better than she did in their last meeting, Rybakina looks like a no-brainer pick in this particular match.
Our betting prediction for Elena Rybakina vs. Jessica Pegula: Elena Rybakina will win.
