Odds available at matchbook at time of publishing

Coco Gauff faces Jessica Pegula at Cincinnati Open on Sunday 23 August 2026. They are playing on a hard court. This is a match winner bet, so it lands if Coco Gauff wins the match. It was priced at -147 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $16.80 if it lands. Our model leans this way without loving it. Coco Gauff presents strong value at 1.68 against Jessica Pegula in the Cincinnati Open, primarily due to superior recent form and serve metrics. Gauff boasts an impressive 80% win rate over her last five matches, indicating heightened competitiveness. In contrast, Pegula's performance metrics show vulnerability, particularly with a lower average first-serve points won percentage (61.3%) and second-serve points won (41.9%). Gauff's ability to capitalize on these weaknesses could prove decisive. Moreover, Gauff's opponent has a BP save percentage of just 31.6%, signaling potential break opportunities for Gauff. Given that Pegula has a higher double fault rate (6.8%) and a comparable ace rate, Gauff's consistent serving under pressure could tilt the match in her favor.

That is how our model reads Coco Gauff v Jessica Pegula. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
