LiontipsJessica Pegula vs Anhelina Kalinina. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Miami
Command Analysis
Jessica Pegula managed to defend her points, reaching the round of 16 at Miami. In the previous year she was beaten at this stage by Sakkari (4:6, 6:2, 6:7).
In two first matches Jessica was simply unstoppable. American player managed to beat Sloane Stephens (6:1, 6:4) and Elena Rybakina (6:3, 6:4) in straight sets. In each of those matches Pegula lost only one game at her serve. She managed to find chances on the receive though and played in an aggressive manner.
Anhelina Kalinina was not expected to reach the round of 16 at Miami. In two latest rounds she had dangerous opponents, Madison Keys and Beatrice Haddad Maia. Kalinina was an underdog in each of these matches.
Kalinina won all of her matches by a 2:1 score on sets. She takes way too much risk, but so far this strategy brings success to the Ukrainian player. We are not expecting something to change.

Anhelina Kalinina is not a comfortable opponent for Pegula. Ukrainian player recorded victories in two of three head-to-head matches. Jessica has recorded a narrow victory at Australian Open this year (4:6, 7:6, 7:5). We are expecting a tight clash today.
