18:15 Jessica Pegula – Nicole Gibbs

Jessica Pegula will meet with Nicole Gibbs in the first round of the WTA tournament in Quebec.

Here we have a clash of two young and talented American players. Pegula is only 21 years old , while Gibbs is one year older .

II will in this match give advantage to Gibbs . Although she is only a year older than Pegula, she showed much more than her so far. She have a very strong serve and plays well on faster surfaces. Ten days ago she managed to beat Garcia in tournament in Stanford in 2 setss. While this year she also beat a few more players from the top 100 such as Witthoeft, Smiedlova, Beck, Dominguez ….

Pegula on the other hand, showed a good game at the US Open where she beat Van Uytvack, and managed to take a set against Cibulkova. But here she struggled in both games in the qualifiers and played in 3 sets against Marrand and Broady.

I think Gibbs is still quite better player, sheis better ranked than Pegula by 50 positions on wta list so I expect her win today
