Our Jessica Pegula/Jack Draper vs Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud Prediction
Jessica Pegula leaned on experience to power her partnership with Jack Draper past Iga Swiatek and Jack Draper, securing a slot in the championship match.
The key to this match is Pegula’s extensive experience in doubles matches. Although Draper is a greenhorn in any form of doubles at this level, Pegula has done a terrific job maximizing the Brit’s strengths by knowing where exactly she needs to be on the court and maintaining great communication during play. The partnership of Swiatek and Ruud has shown glimpses of this chemistry in their emphatic wins over two solid teams. Even so, Wednesday’s semifinal will be the pairing’s toughest test in this tournament since Pegula was ranked No.1 two years ago and Draper has been playing fantastic tennis under her tutelage.
Our betting prediction for Jack Draper/Jessica Pegula vs. Iga Swiatek/Casper Ruud: Pegula/Draper will win.
