Both players came through their first match with relative ease, and advanced without dropping a set. While Pegula has the advantage in terms of past record, the British young gun has all the weapons to pull off an upset. The winner of this match will take on either Marta Kostyuk or Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the pre-quarterfinal stage.

The 31-year-old American has won three trophies this year &ndash; at Austin, Charleston and Bad Homburg. Pegula was also the finalist in Adelaide and Miami, which boosted her 2025 success ratio to 72%. The former World No. 3 also played a crucial role in guiding Team USA to the runner-up spot at the Billie Jean King Cup. Seeded fifth in Beijing this week, Pegula beat Ajla Tomljanovic 6-0 6-3 in the Round of 64.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/2025ChinaOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#2025ChinaOpen<\/a> women&rsquo;s singles R2<br>No.5 seed and former US Open finalist Jessica Pegula defeated three-time Grand Slam quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic 6-0, 6-3 to reach the next round <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/d8tjZlg153\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/d8tjZlg153<\/a><\/p>&mdash; China Open (@ChinaOpen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChinaOpen\/status\/1971865501723992426?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>On the other hand, Emma Raducanu served 5 aces and won 71% points on first serve during her opening victory vs Cristina Bucsa of Spain. While the 22-year-old is yet to win a title since her triumph at Flushing Meadows four years ago, her progress in the second half of 2025 has been glaring. A semifinal at the Citi DC Open, two quarterfinals in Miami and Queen&rsquo;s Club, and four Round of 16 appearances happen to be the highlights of Raducanu&rsquo;s campaign. The Briton is 28-19 this year &ndash; including wins over the likes of Amanda Anisimova and Naomi Osaka.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tested but never toppled &#128165;<br>Emma Raducanu fights past Cristina Bucsa 6-3 6-3 to reach the China Open last 32 &#127468;&#127463;&#128293; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zFQsGa9Juf\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/zFQsGa9Juf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TNT Sports (@tntsports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntsports\/status\/1971973166886277581?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jessica Pegula vs Emma Raducanu Head to Head Record<\/h2><p>Pegula leads the head-to-head against Raducanu by 2-1.<\/p><p>Interestingly, Pegula has won the two encounters&nbsp; which took place on American soil so far.

While Raducanu&rsquo;s cross-court winners make her a terrifying contender to deal with, Pegula has a knack of painting the edges with her down the line groundstrokes. The 22-year-old finds herself in a potentially vulnerable spot due to her exploitable second serve, but has the ability to make up for it. She will be keen on drawing level in the head-to-head, and the bouncy conditions in China could present her the best chance to do so.<\/p><p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Emma Raducanu in three sets.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jessica Pegula vs Emma Raducanu WTA China Open 2025 Betting Odds<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jessica Pegula leads her head-to-head with Emma Raducanu 2-1 and has never lost to her on a hardcourt &#129762; <br><br>Stream their fourth ever meeting live or catch the replay on our Tennis Channel App &#128242; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/2025ChinaOpen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#2025ChinaOpen<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KGm9am9gkU\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/KGm9am9gkU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Tennis Channel (@TennisChannel) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TennisChannel\/status\/1971993303835885836?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Pegula (3\/5) has a very slight edge in the pre-match betting market, making her the favorite against underdog Raducanu (13\/10) ahead of the 2025 China Open match-up.

I specialise in tennis and football writing at The Playoffs News, and I have prior experience working at EssentiallySports and Sportskeeda. Born and raised in Bengaluru, India, sport was my safe space right from my childhood. After trying my hand at multiple sports and representing my educational institutions in cricket, badminton and table tennis, I found sports media to be my calling. My message to the readers is not to be shy to express themselves - regardless of whether it is playing, talking or writing about sport.
