Pegula vs Collins Prediction

We have an all-American clash between Jessica Pegula and Danielle Collins. Pegula comes in as the third seed against unseeded Collins. Both players know each other so well since their playing days on the lower circuits. Pegula has accomplished a lot more on the WTA stage, but Collins has appeared in a Major final, something her compatriot has yet to do. Pegula will soon need to crack the quarterfinal code, having lost at that stage in four of her past five Grand Slams. She’s had a solid clay swing, but could have done better by her own lofty standards, especially in Rome where she exited early. For Collins, just one match she’s secured under her belt on clay and that came in Charleston. I can see Pegula testing Collins’ movement in this match and looking to make her as uncomfortable from the baseline. Collins will mostly be a hit-and-miss in this match having sat out from a handful of important tournaments. Expect Pegula to romp to victory.
