 Jessica Pagula vs. Cocoa Goff is the first semi-final for the WTA finals of 2023. And both players have had different rows to get to this stage. Pagula entered the tournament as the number five seed and would take on Rebecca in the first group stage match. And after going down early in the match, she came back to win 7-5-6-2. In her second match, she would take on Zachary, who'd only just gotten into the finals because of Mukhova withdrawing. And again, super impressive getting through in straights, 6-3-6-2. In her final group stage match, she would take on Sabalenka, the world number one. And again, in tough conditions, she would get through in straights, 6-4-6-3 to top the group. Goff entered the tournament as number three seed and would take on Jabur in her first group stage match. But this was no problem getting through in straights, 6-love, 6-1. In her second match, she'd take on Shveontek. But unfortunately, the conditions got to her and she'd go down in straights. She would go down 6-love, 7-5. In her final match, a must-win match, she'd take on Von Drussever, who hadn't won a match yet at this tournament. And after losing the first set and going down a break in the second, Goff would fight back to win 5-7, 7-6-6-3 to advance to the quarters as the second best player in the group. These two have only played the three times before, but they have played twice this year, splitting the head-to-head 1-1 with their previous match being in Montreal, 7-5 third set Pagula win, where she also went on to win the entire tournament in Canada. If Pagula is going to win this one, she needs to keep her head like she has for the entire tournament. She's probably been the best player in these conditions. Maybe Shveontek as well if you want to talk about the other group. But in her group, she definitely dealt with the conditions a lot better than everybody else. So she needs to keep doing that and also maybe push Goff around a little bit and come to the net as well. If Goff's going to win this match, she needs to stop those double folds. They have been killing her in these matches. She hit like 15 double folds against Von Drussever, got out of that match luckily, but she can't be doing that against Pagula who's super solid. What a great matchup. These two are playing doubles together at this event. They've played a couple of matches this year. It's a really fun matchup, but a good over with Pagula. She's been so solid this week and it just feels like Goff's being a little bit shaky in this tournament and she's kind of a little lucky to get here. If the conditions are windy, you've got to go with Pagula in three, but let me know down in the comments below who do you think's going to win.
