LiontipsElina Svitolina as Jessica Pegula. WTA Doha Match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Svitolina does not perform so often at tournaments this year. Elina immediately played at the Australian Open, where she scored the quarterfinals. Then we saw her in Linz, where she lost sensationally to Blinkova (4-6, 4-6) at the start. It seemed that in Doha she would be eliminated in the first round, because in the game with Vondroushova she lost outright in the opening game with a score of 0-6. However, the Ukrainian tennis player managed to pull herself together, returned to the game and won a difficult victory over Marketa (0-6, 6-2, 7-5).
Professional qualities
Elina has been distinguished by her versatility throughout her career, and can successfully play on any surface. We note her stable actions on the back line and the ability to keep a high tempo when exchanging punches, forcing rivals to make mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Svitolina has played only seven matches in the tour, in which she won five. She is currently ranked 22nd in the ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of the last three matches on the tour, Svitolina played in three sets.
- In three of the four previous matches involving Svitolina, no more than nine games were played in the second game.
Current form
Pegula has been playing infrequently since the beginning of the season, and she has not had a stable game. The American immediately made it to the finals in Adelaide, but at the Australian Open she suffered a sensational defeat in the third round from Danilovich (6-7, 1-6). After that setback, Jessica did not play anywhere on the tour. In Doha, she starts immediately from the second round and it is difficult to judge in the forecasts in what form she approached the tournament.
Professional qualities
Jessica does not have outstanding physical characteristics, but at the same time strives to play number one, in an aggressive manner. The American is not very reliable on the back line. Her serve is not the most impressive by the standards of the women's tour.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Pegula played seven matches in the tour, in which she won five victories. She is on the fifth place in the ranking, she last performed in Doha in 2023 and was able to qualify for the finals then.
Interesting facts for betting
- In only one of the seven matches since the beginning of the year, Pegula has exchanged the sets she won with her rivals.
- In five of the American's seven previous matches, more than nine games were played in the first set.
