Surface, class & serve
This is a hard-court match. On this surface over the last 12 months: Coco Gauff 77.1% (37–11); Jessica Pegula 79.3% (46–12). The Elo gap (+15 to Jessica Pegula) is what drives the win probability — a class-and-history argument more than a recent-form one.
On serve, Coco Gauff 67% of first-serve points and 48% of return points; Jessica Pegula 71% of first-serve points and 45% of return points. Serve is the most stable quantity in tennis — whoever holds dictates how long the match runs.
Coco Gauff has played 5 matches in the last 7 days — fatigue is a factor; Jessica Pegula has played 4 matches in the last 7 days — fatigue is a factor.
Total games
Our model projects about 20.7 total games against the market line of 21.5 — so a lean toward the Under 21.5. Even a lopsided match can produce a high total when the surface helps servers: the underdog holds serve more often, and it takes more games to close a set.
Form & head-to-head
Coco Gauff have won 5 of their last 5 (W-W-W-W-W, most recent first). Jessica Pegula have won 5 of their last 5 (W-W-W-W-W, most recent first).
The last 5 meetings (Coco Gauff–Jessica Pegula): 1–2, 2–1, 2–0, 2–0, 2–0. On a small sample the head-to-head is context, not a dominant signal — the model's depth carries the probability, not a handful of individual results.
What to watch
The model makes Coco Gauff the favourite at 50%, but at 50% Jessica Pegula is far from a write-off. The early stages often decide it: whoever sets the tempo first can swing the probabilities quickly. Watch whether the favourite asserts itself early or the game stays open — that is where the model's lean is won or lost.
