Paula Badosa vs Jessica Pegula Preview
On Wednesday, World No.6 Paula Badosa will take on World No.21 Jessica Pegula.
Paula Badosa has maintained her winning streak in 2022 after breaking through last year. Before reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open, the 24-year-old won her first WTA championship in Sydney. Despite having her run cut short at the Australian Open, Dubai Tennis Championships, and Doha, she made an incredible recovery at Indian Wells 2022, where she was defending champion. The World No.6 came up two wins close to defending her championship at Indian Wells, losing in straight sets to Maria Sakkari in the semifinals. However, the Spaniard is having a tremendous run in Miami and looking forward to adding another title under her belt.
Jessica Pegula, on the other hand, is coming off a six-game triumph over Anhelina Kalinina in a one-set match. Pegula won 89% of her first serve points and 55% of her second serve points in the victory. She converted three of her six break points and won 70% of her total service points and she is well rested for this match, having only played for 25 minutes the day before, and she has yet to drop a set this tournament. Also, she is also looking forward to playing in her second WTA 1000 semifinal of her career.
