Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula final prediction, betting tips & odds, head-to-head, preview: Wuhan Open 2025

An all-American contest will determine the Wuhan Open winner.

The WTA Wuhan Open 2025 final will feature an all-American battle between the young sensation Coco Gauff and the sixth seed Jessica Pegula on October 12, Sunday.

The World No. 3 Coco Gauff, who has now reached her third WTA 1000 final of the year, cruised past Jasmine Paolini 6-4, 6-3 in the semifinals to book her spot in her maiden Wuhan Open final. The victory also made her the youngest-ever finalist in the tournament’s history at just 21 years old.

Meanwhile, across the net stands Jessica Pegula, who produced one of the biggest upsets of the season by dethroning World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(2). Pegula’s comeback victory ended Sabalenka’s 21-match unbeaten streak in Wuhan, involving a staggering comeback from 2-5 in the decider set.

The final will mark the first-ever WTA title clash between Gauff and Pegula, close friends, former doubles partners, and two of America’s brightest tennis stars — with both eyeing their first-ever Wuhan crown.

Pegula stunned Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 7-6(2) in a thrilling semi-final, ending the Belarusian’s 21-match unbeaten streak at the event. She battled back from 3-5 down in the decider, saving match points and breaking Sabalenka before forcing a tiebreak. Despite four double faults while serving for the match, Pegula regrouped brilliantly to dominate the tiebreak 7-2.

The American’s victory marked her third career win over Sabalenka and avenged four consecutive losses, including at both the 2024 and 2025 US Open.

Gauff advanced to her third WTA 1000 final of 2025 after defeating Jasmine Paolini 6-4, 6-3 in the Wuhan Open semi-finals.

Despite struggling with seven double faults and winning less than 30% of her second-serve points, the World No.3 showed trademark resilience, rallying from a break down three times in the second set and winning the final four games to seal victory in 1 hour and 22 minutes — her first win over Paolini this year.

The two Americans meet for the first time in 2025, with Pegula leading this overall h2h. Their most recent exchange at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, ended in Gauff’s favor. However, on outdoor hard-court events, it is Pegula leading with a flawless 3-0 record.

Match prediction

Pegula and Gauff meet in what promises to be a tightly contested all-American final at the 2025 Wuhan Open. Both players enter the clash in top form — Pegula riding high after a stunning three-set victory over World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, and Gauff continuing her dominant run with a straight-sets win against Jasmine Paolini.

Pegula leads their head-to-head 4-2 overall and 3-1 on hard courts, suggesting her consistency and tactical sharpness could give her a slight edge in the slower Wuhan conditions.

However, Gauff’s recent improvement under pressure and her ability to turn matches around despite serving struggles make her an equally dangerous opponent.

Gauff’s serving consistency could prove decisive in this final. Her recent struggles on serve, including multiple double faults against Paolini, may leave her vulnerable against a steady opponent like Pegula.

In contrast, Pegula enters the clash with momentum after stunning top seed Sabalenka, showcasing resilience and tactical poise under pressure. With her superior experience and form in high-stakes matches, the tide appears to tilt slightly in favour of the 31-year-old American heading into the Wuhan Open final.

Result: Jessica Pegula to win in three sets.
