Jessica Pegula went 39-16 last year, reaching the semi-finals in Adelaide, San Diego and Charleston before winning the title in Berlin.

Yulia Putintseva Form

Yulia Putintseva had a slow start last year before breaking through to win the Birmingham International. She was unable to get to a semi-final in her last seven tournaments.

The 30-year-old started the season in Brisbane where she suffered a 7-6 6-4 second round exit against Aryna Sabalenka.

The Kazakh has been upsetting the odds in Adelaide where she began with straight sets wins against Donna Vekic and Ons Jabeur. She outlasted Diana Shnaider 7-6 6-7 6-4 in the quarter-finals, saving 8/12 break points.

Verdict

Jessica Pegula v Yulia Putintseva

Jessica Pegula has easily accounted for Yulia Putintseva in their two meetings. I expect another routine win for the World No.7 in the semi-finals.
