The Madrid Open final is set, with Ons Jabeur and Jessica Pegula set to face off on the clay in the biggest match of their respective careers. The Tunisian - a crowd favorite and entertainer - has been the standout performer at La Caja Mágica this week, but the American's ability to hang in there and keep the ball alive evens up the odds. Here's how to watch a Jabeur vs Pegula live stream wherever you are - including ways to watch the Madrid Open final absolutely FREE.

Playing styles aside, there are plenty of parallels between Jabeur and Pegula. Born six months apart, they were both late bloomers, only managing to really scale the heights over the past couple of years, having been ranked at No.77 and No.76 in 2020. They're also dead even in their four-match head-to-head, and have won one WTA Tour title apiece.

The Tunisian, currently ranked No.10, is the first African player to reach a WTA 1000 final. After a tough start, Jabeur really hit her stride with victories over Belinda Bencic, Simona Halep and Ekaterina Alexandrova, all of whom have had the measure of her in the past.

Pegula, meanwhile, got to the final with impressive wins over Bianca Andreescu, home hopeful Sara Sorribes Tormo and Jil Teichmann, and has a weapon that could prove key against Jabeur. The American has broken more serves than anyone else at the Madrid Open, which could neutralize one of Jabeur's most destructive shots.
