Pegula Continues Elite Performance
Jessica Pegula’s eight-match winning streak ended in the Indian Wells quarterfinals with a 6-1, 7-6 loss to Elena Rybakina. She led 4-1 in the second set but couldn’t convert her chances to force a decider.
Despite that, it has been an impressive start to the season. She has won 16 matches across four tournaments, including a title in Dubai, and semifinals in Brisbane and the Australian Open.
Pegula is making her seventh Miami appearance. Apart from her debut loss in 2019, she has reached at least the fourth round in every visit, including a run to the final last year.

Verdict
Francesca Jones hasn’t found her rhythm this season and lacks the experience needed for this level. Against a player like Jessica Pegula, that gap is likely to show. A quick match looks likely, so under 19.5 games stands out as a solid pick.
