Jessica Pegula has the most doubles expertise and the American ace brings experience in the big events. Meanwhile, Draper maintains the pace of the game. They will take the trip from the very first set like they did in previous two attempts.
On the other hand, Swiatek is coming off a Cincinnati Masters title, compiling a 44-12 singles record. Rudd, meanwhile, had a quarterfinal run in French Open and he can be a dominating player on hard court. The duo lacks in the doubles experience and it will be interested to see how they perform in tricky situation.
