On Tuesday, in Austin, Texas, Jessica Pegula will begin her title defense. Having won this event a year ago, the world number five, who arrives in hot form having just won the event in Dubai, will be hoping to secure another tournament success. To do that, she’ll need to get the better of Rebecca Sramkova in the first round, which in all honesty, shouldn’t be tough given the level that she’s currently operating at.
While Sramkova exited at the first-round stage, losing to Varvara Gracheva, in Dubai, Pegula beat everyone, securing tenth career title. On her way to victory, she brushed against Gracheva, which suggests that she may just make light work of winning this first-round match in Austin.

Our Jessica Pegula vs Rebecca Sramkova Prediction
Let’s be real, if Jessica Pegula doesn’t win this match in second gear, it will be a serious surprise, so much so that she looks a little leniently priced to win by a minimum seven-game margin. After she beat the player who knocked out Sramkova in Dubai last week by an eight-game margin.
We know that Pegula likes this event, she’s the defending champion and she arrives in red-hot form. In other words, Sramkova stands little chance of making this a close contest.
