Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula H2H | Head to Head Record & Stats

Coco Gauff leads her head-to-head record against compatriot Jessica Pegula 9–5 across 14 meetings, a series that has produced some of the most significant matches in recent WTA history. Their most memorable encounter came at the 2023 US Open semi-final, where Gauff dismantled Pegula 6–3, 6–2 in barely 70 minutes en route to her first Grand Slam title. Gauff leads on hard courts (7–4) and grass (1–0), while the clay record is level at 1–1. Pegula has been unable to replicate her impressive results against other top players when facing Gauff — she is 0–3 against her in Grand Slam matches. Both are ranked inside the WTA top 10 heading into the 2026 season, and regular meetings at major events are guaranteed.

Head-to-Head Overview

Notable Meetings

The series began in 2019, making it one of the longer-running head-to-head records on the WTA Tour. Though Gauff has held the edge throughout, Pegula has been a consistent challenger and has won five of their 14 meetings.

The Grand Slam Record

Gauff’s 3–0 record against Pegula in Grand Slam matches is the defining statistic of this rivalry. The 2023 US Open semi-final was the high-water mark: needing to win to reach her first major final, Gauff produced perhaps her most focused and complete display, barely giving Pegula a foothold across the 70-minute contest. Pegula, ranked inside the top five at the time, was made to look ordinary by the ferocity and precision of Gauff’s serving and groundstrokes.

In subsequent Slam meetings at the 2024 US Open and beyond, Gauff has again closed out Pegula when it mattered. Pegula’s 0–3 Grand Slam record against her compatriot is a significant psychological burden heading into future major matchups.

Surface Breakdown

On hard courts, where the majority of their meetings have taken place, Gauff leads 7–4. Her heavy topspin, improved serve, and superior footwork make her the dominant force. On clay, the series is split 1–1, reflecting Pegula’s improved clay game in recent seasons. On grass, Gauff leads 1–0 from a single meeting — a surface where both players have room to improve at the elite level.

Who Wins Next?

The gap between them has grown rather than narrowed as both players have matured. Gauff’s all-round development since winning the US Open — her serve, net game, and movement have all improved considerably — makes her the clear favourite whenever they meet on hard courts. Clay remains the one surface where a Pegula victory is genuinely plausible, and Roland Garros or the clay WTA 1000s could produce a more competitive series.

For Pegula, beating Gauff in a Grand Slam match would be one of her most significant career achievements. That target will drive her preparation at every major where the draw puts them in the same half.

Betting on Gauff vs Pegula

Gauff is consistently the favourite when facing Pegula, particularly on hard courts and in Grand Slams. The 9–5 overall record, and especially the 3–0 Slam record, makes Gauff a solid selection at short prices in major tournaments. At Grand Slams, Pegula at bigger odds represents poor value given her record in those specific high-stakes meetings. For live odds on their next encounter, visit Bet365.
