The all-American clash between Gauff and Pegula promises to be one of the highlights of the WTA Finals round-robin stage. World No. 3 Gauff enters the event as the defending champion with a 47-14 record and two titles this season, the French Open and the Wuhan Open.

The 21-year-old began the year strongly in Australia, endured a dip during the Middle East and U.S. swings, but rediscovered her best form on clay, completing a sensational run to claim her first Grand Slam on the surface. After a subdued grass season, she once again surged in Asia, reaching the semifinals in Beijing before lifting the trophy in Wuhan.

Pegula, ranked No. 5, has been a model of consistency throughout 2025. With a 50-19 record and titles on clay, grass, and hard courts, she remains one of the most reliable performers on tour. While she hasn’t had the explosive peaks of Gauff, Pegula’s steadiness has kept her firmly among the elite.

Since the US Open, Gauff has been in outstanding form, winning nine of her last ten matches, including statement victories over top-10 opponents like Jasmine Paolini and Pegula herself.

The World No. 5, meanwhile, has gone 8-2 in the same stretch, highlighted by a stunning win over World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in Wuhan that ended the Belarusian’s winning streak.

Although Gauff recently got the better of Pegula, the fifth seed holds a narrow edge in their head-to-head and will look to reassert control with her trademark consistency and tactical precision. However, given Gauff’s current confidence and momentum, she enters this clash as the favorite to edge a tight two-set battle.

Pick: Gauff to win in straight sets.
