Jessica Pegula Eyes Dubai Title, Warns Against ‘Overplaying’ Vs Elina Svitolina

Pegula rallied past Anisimova 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 to reach the Dubai final, where she faces Svitolina after the Ukrainian outlasted Gauff in semifinal. “We always have really tough matches,” Pegula said, calling it “a mix of trying to be aggressive but not overplaying” against Svitolina’s defense. Pegula leads H2H 5-3 and aims to snap a 0-3 WTA 1000 final skid.
