A high-level final awaits us this coming Saturday at the Hard Rock Stadium. The world number one has taken her role in the Sunshine Double very seriously, reaching the finals of both tournaments while demonstrating a great level in her matches. Aryna Sabalenka will face Jessica Pegula in the 2025 Miami Open, in a match that promises great emotions. Will the Belarusian manage to assert herself as the favorite or will the American be able to surprise?

Aryna herself arrived in Miami warning herself about the change in conditions, but it seems that the world's best racket has known how to adapt perfectly to the American tournament. Evidence of this is the number of sets lost: a total of 0. The same happened just a week ago in Indian Wells, so the Belarusian has the opportunity to show that she has learned her lesson and does not have to ease off until lifting the trophy.

On the other hand, Jessica has fought hard to reach this stage. The American started February with a trophy at the Austin tournament, although she did leave California earlier than expected. After turning a new leaf, the world number four showed bravery in the toughest moments to overcome her biggest challenges in Miami and find herself just a step away from sealing the deal.

Sabalenka, the clear favorite for the title

As in the desert, Aryna will step onto the court on Sunday as the top favorite for the title, although the tennis player is aware that this is no reason to become overconfident. The head-to-head record stands at a clear 6-2 for Sabalenka, although Pegula's two victories were on hard court, a fact that underscores the American's great skill on this surface. Jessica's most recent victory was at the 2023 WTA Finals. In this period of time, both players have greatly improved in terms of consistency, but it is Aryna's evolution that stands out, as she is now more prepared than ever to lead on the circuit.

Tactical Keys

For Sabalenka, the Belarusian will need to maintain her first serve statistics above 60%, as it has been a crucial factor in her game, becoming a weakness when this percentage drops. Although anything can happen, Aryna recorded figures above 80% this week in Miami, so it should not be a major concern heading into the final.

As for Pegula, it will be crucial not to let Aryna dominate, knowing that both players have rather aggressive playing styles. Jessica will have to aim precisely towards the lines from the start to push her opponent to the limit, moving her from side to side on the court to prevent her from taking control, while also trying to return deep to avoid getting caught in Sabalenka's dominant serve plus one.

Who will ultimately claim the 2025 Miami Open title?
