The 31-year-old has navigated some challenges on her own service games, and finds a rhythm as the match goes on. There will be plenty of cross-court baseline exchanges against someone like Noskova, which the American thrives on. The Czech starlet surprisingly won a higher percentage of second serve points as opposed to first serve points in her quarterfinal. However, expect Pegula to play with a more attacking mindset in order to book her spot in Sunday&rsquo;s final.<\/p><p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Jessica Pegula in three sets.<\/p><h2

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.
