Jessica Pegula vs. Victoria Azarenka Head to Head, Preview, Predictions, and Betting Odds for 2025 US Open Round 3

Jessica Pegula advances to round 3 of the 2025 US Open.

World No.4 Jessica Pegula will be going against Victoria Azarenka in the third round of the 2025 US Open. This isn’t their first rodeo together; the two have faced each other before and were equals even then. As a result, this match could very well be an electric contest. When the US Open started, Pegula wasn’t really on anyone’s list to make a deep run. Her form leading up to the event was far from being satisfactory, but she’s been surprisingly at her best in the first 2 rounds.

As for Azarenka, this is her first tournament since Wimbledon. The 36-year-old is slowly limiting her appearances to increase her odds at the Grand Slams. Though one can’t deny that Azarenka is past her peak, she can still put forth a great performance as seen in the first two rounds. So who will win in this battle of veterans? Let’s find out using the odds from BetMGM.

Jessica Pegula vs. Victoria Azarenka Match Prediction

Both these competitors have a similar style of play. As a result, the edge remains with Pegula, who is younger and still in her prime. Azarenka can still give a great game but is no longer consistent. So unless Azarenka brings her “A” Game, this match is Pegula’s to take.
