Gauff is currently at the 20th spot in the world rankings. One year ago, she reached the quarter-final of Dubai tournament. Now Gauff will try to defend ranking points for that result.
Jessica Pegula got off to a slow start of the current season. In two first tournaments at Melbourne and Sydney she was eliminated after first matches. However, American player managed to reach the quarter-final of Australian Open. But just like in the previous year, she is too inconsistent.
In the previous season Pegula, just like her opponent, reached the quarter-final of Dubai tournament. Looking at Jessica's performance on January, it seems doubtful that she will put up a successful performance.
