Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula will face off in an exciting Wimbledon quarter-final, both aiming for their first semi-final at the event. Pegula enters with superior form on grass, having won four of their last six encounters and boasting two WTA 500 grass titles. Gauff, while dangerous, has struggled on the surface and has been taken to three sets multiple times this tournament. Pegula's consistency, grass court pedigree, and recent head-to-head advantage make her the recommended pick in what is expected to be a close, three-set match.

Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula Wimbledon Tips, Prediction & Live Stream


Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula are both aiming for a maiden Wimbledon semi-final when they square off in an all-American clash on Tuesday.

Both players come into this encounter following three-set victories in their respective R16 matches, with Pegula overcoming teenage countrywoman Iva Jovic and Gauff edging out Belinda Bencic.

It's shaping as a close contest, but I give the edge to Pegula on grass.

Pegula has won four of the last six meetings between the players, including their lone grass court clash in straight sets in Berlin a couple of years ago. Pegula has won two WTA 500 titles on grass, while Gauff has yet to reach a final on the surface and is playing her first Wimbledon quarter-final after also needing deciding sets against Solana Sierra and Claire Liu.

Of course Gauff's best tennis is capable of beating anyone, but she hasn't been at that sort of level lately and grass has been her worst surface throughout her career.

I think this could go three sets, but Pegula's consistency and stronger grass pedigree give her the edge.
  • Pegula has won 16 of her last 20 matches
  • Gauff has seen Over 21.5 games in five of her last six matches
  • Three of the last four meetings have seen Over 21.5 games
  • Pegula has won four of the last six meetings, including only grass match
  • Pegula has won her last three Grand Slam quarter-finals
  • Gauff has a 5-5 record in Grand Slam quarter-finals
  • Pegula has won five of her six grass court meetings vs top 10 players

Coco Gauff Form Analysis

  • 2026 Record: 30-11
  • Wimbledon Record: 15-6
  • Current Ranking: No. 7
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 2 (2024)

It's been a decent season for Gauff - she's made the final of Rome and Miami, along with the Australian Open quarter-finals, but at the end of the day, she's yet to win a title and has dropped to No. 7 in the world.

Gauff suffered a disappointing third round exit to Anastasia Potapova at Roland Garros and lost in the first round of her only grass lead in tournament in Berlin to Paula Badosa.

The American has been forced to dig deep at Wimbledon following a straight sets opening round win over Tamara Korpatsch.

The 22-year-old needed a final set tiebreak to edge out Solana Sierra and also needed three sets to overcome Claire Liu before once again going the distance to move past Belinda Bencic 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the R16.

Jessica Pegula Form Analysis

  • 2026 Record: 35-8
  • Wimbledon Record: 12-8
  • Current Ranking: No. 4
  • Career-High Ranking: No. 3 (2022)

Consistency is the name of the game for Pegula - she's made at least the quarter-finals in eight of her 10 tournaments in 2026, winning titles in Dubai and Charleston, along with a runner-up finish on grass in Berlin and making the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

An opening round loss to Kim Birrell at Roland Garros was a low point of an otherwise great season for Pegula and she's already bounced back strongly on the lawns with that aforementioned final showing in Berlin, where she went down to Linda Noskova.

Pegula didn't drop a set across her opening three Wimbledon rounds, easing past Darja Vidmanova, Sara Sorribes Tormo and Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.

The 32-year-old was made to work much harder against in-form compatriot Iva Jovic in the R16, but she finished strongly after dropping the opening set in a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory to make a second Wimbledon quarter-final.
