LiontipsDiana Schnyder vs Jessica Pegula. Prediction and bets on the WTA match Toronto
Command Analysis
After winning the Olympic gold in a pair with Mirra Andreeva, Schneider is successfully playing the hard court tournament in Toronto. Diana barely snatched two victories over Dart and Frech at the start, beating these opponents in the decisive tie-breaks. In the third round, the Russian tennis player left no chance for the world's second racket Cori Gauff (6-4, 6-1). In the quarterfinals, she had a tough battle with her compatriot Lyudmila Samsonova. The Russians exchanged winning sets, and in the decisive set, it was Diana who managed to work more reliably (4-6, 6-1, 6-4).
Pegula was initially among the top 5 favorites for the title in Toronto and confirms this status. Jessica made it to the semifinals in a fairly easy tournament bracket – Pliskova, Krueger, Stearns. In all matches, the American was the bookmakers' favorite and dealt with all her opponents in two sets. Undoubtedly, Pegula spent much less energy on the way to the semifinals than Diana.
