Canadian Open 2023: iga Swiatek vs j pegula preview, head-to-head, prediction, odds, and pick: The Canadian Open, also known as the National Bank Open begins on Monday, August 7. This ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event marks the start of the three major hard-court tournaments in North America. Immediately after that is the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, then the US Open in New York later this month. The men and women swap places at the Canadian Open every year, with the men playing in Toronto in 2023 while the women will play in Montreal.
There will be a 56-player draw for both men and women, with the top eight seeded players receiving direct byes into the second round. All matches at the Canadian Open will be best-of-three sets, par for the course in WTA play but different from the best-of-five format in men’s Grand Slams.
Iga Swiatek vs j Pegula Preview
Both had to win their respective quarterfinal matches in three sets. Even though Swiatek wasn’t at her best, it was her second straight match that went the full two hours. It’s difficult to defeat the current world No. 1 player.
Gaiff was Pegula’s opponent when she lost her first set of the week, but she eventually prevailed to end Gaiff’s unbeaten streak. The American has previously struggled when facing Swiatek.
Peguala won their first encounter but lost the following four. At the United Cup earlier this year, she finally defeated Swiatek. The previous time they faced off, at the Qatar Open, the world number one won decisively, 6-3, 6-0.
Given her frequent and powerful shots, Pegula is a challenging opponent to wear down, but Swiatek does so easily. The Pole has overcome some questionable play to get thus far and might do so again to reach the final.
Iga Swiatek is the pick to triumph in three sets.
Iga Swiatek vs j Pegula head-to-head
Swiatek leads 5–2 in the rivalry. While the Polish player won all four of his encounters last year, this year he has shared the spoils. Pegula won the United Cup in straight sets and Swiatek won the Doha final in straight sets. Pegula’s first win had come in Washington DC in 2019.
iga Swiatek vs J Pegula Prediction
The two have played each other seven times in history, which has featured in much of the rivalry. However, as you would expect, world number one Inga Swiatek holds the lead over Jessica Pegula. Notably, Swiatek has beaten the American five times compared to Pegula’s only two wins – quite a difference. While Swiatek is the top seed for the tournament, Pegula is the fourth seed. So on paper and in reality, it’s Sweetec who should win this one. Still, for best bets, I would recommend the following:
In my opinion, Pegula’s 10/11 odds of winning the set are very significant. After all, Pegula is playing great in this tournament and she defeated Swiatek 6-2 6-2 in the 2023 United Cup. So he’s definitely capable of taking a set.
