Rankings & Form
Jessica Pegula holds a clear advantage in the rankings as the world No. 3 with 6,300 points, compared to Maja Frech’s No. 48 spot and 1,120 points. Pegula’s recent form reflects some inconsistency but remains solid at 3 wins and 2 losses in her last five matches (LWWLW). Frech’s form is less stable, holding a 2-3 record (WLWLL), which could be a factor on the bigger stage in Toronto.

Recent Results Insight
Looking at recent matches, Pegula has alternated wins and losses but secured straight-set victories against competitive opponents twice recently (2-0, 2-0).
