Magda Linette vs. Jessica Pegula Odds
Head-to-Head Record
Pegula holds a 100% record against Linette based on the three previous meetings between the players. The latest clash came in the round of 64 at Indian Wells, with Pegula winning in straight sets.
Match Preview
Jessica Pegula will have huge expectations on her shoulders when the US Open gets underway later this year, and she will be aiming to build momentum ahead of the final Grand Slam of 2025 at the Cincinnati Open. The American was beaten in the final of the event by Aryna Sabalenka in 2024.
Pegula could only reach the round of 32 at the National Bank Open earlier this month, but she bounced back to her best form in the previous round of the Cincinnati Open. The American claimed a dominant straight sets win against Kimberly Birrell in the previous round, winning a staggering 83% of the points on her first serve.

Experienced Polish player Magda Linette has endured a frustrating year in Grand Slam events in 2025, failing to progress further than the opening round in all three majors. However, at her peak, she does boast some solid form on hard courts after reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open in 2023.
However, Linette has won just 17% of her matches at the Cincinnati Open, and has only once made it further than the first round in nine efforts. But, she did look to be playing at a high level in the previous round after breezing past Rebecca Sramkova in dominant fashion. But, she will need to raise her game again to overcome Pegula.
Magda Linette vs. Jessica Pegula Picks
Pegula looks very difficult to oppose this weekend after winning all of the previous head-to-head showdowns between these stars. Her prowess on hard courts should ensure that she has what it takes to go far at the Cincinnati Open this month.
