Collins vs Pegula Prediction & Pick

These are two opponents who know one another quite well as Danielle Collins and Jessica Pegula have faced off four times in the past. Pegula has earned the win in all four of the matchups and enters the 2023 French Open fresh off four quarterfinals appearances in her last five grand slams.

That is exactly the kind of momentum worth backing in Paris. Pegula is 6-3 on clay courts this year and has made two semifinals in her last four outings. Collins has fallen short in her only game on a clay court this year and has not played since a Round of 64 defeat at the Charleston Open in April.

Winner: Jessica Pegula

There's no way around it -- Pegula simply knows what it takes to beat Collins. Three of her four victories against the American pro have come in two sets as Collins has averaged just 3.1 points across eight individual set losses. Also keep in mind that Pegula has seen her French Open result improve in each of the last two years while Collins has seen her result worsen in each of the last two years. Trust the favorite.
