On Monday, third seed Jessica Pegula will face fifth seed Maria Sakkari in the WTA Finals round-robin stage. Pegula has had a strong season so far, winning her maiden WTA 1000 title at the Guadalajara Open, where she defeated Elena Rybakina, Bianca Andreescu, Sloane Stephens, and Victoria Azarenka before defeating Sakkari 6-2, 6-3 in the final. The American also made the Madrid Open final, two WTA 1000 semifinals, and two Grand Slam quarterfinals.
Sakkari, on the other hand, had a strong start to the season, reaching the finals of the Indian Wells Open and the St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy, as well as the Qatar Open semifinals. The Greek slowed down in the latter part of the grass-court season and had disappointing results in the US Open Series and subsequent tournaments. She rediscovered her form, however, at the Guadalajara Open, where she reached the final after defeating Marta Kostyuk, Danielle Collins, Veronika Kudermetova, and Marie Bouzkova.
Jessica Pegula and Maria Sakkari will face each other on Monday, October 31 in the group stage of the 2022 WTA Finals.
