Jessica Pegula


American WTA starlet Jessica Pegula made her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2021 Australian Open. Since then, she has made six last-eight appearances but has yet to manage to pass that stage. As a singles player, she has advanced to the quarterfinals of six Grand Slam tournaments, making it there three times at the Australian Open (2021–2023), once at the French Open (2022), once at Wimbledon (2023), and once at the US Open (2022).


Pegula has also reached a doubles major final, which she accomplished in 2022 at the French Open with teammate Coco Gauff. She has made consistent deep runs at tournaments, beating the likes of Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka; Pegula will hope that 2024 is her year at the Majors. Up until the start of the 2024 season, the 30-year-old has eleven career titles (singles and doubles combined).


The 2023 WTA Finals runner-up is a baseliner looking to outpower her opponents from the back of the court. She holds a WTA ranking of No.5 in singles; in doubles, her career high is No.1, and she is currently ranked No.15.


She also suffered a neck injury at the start of the season, for which she took a break from tennis. Pegula made a comeback at the 2024 San Diego Open, where she was a semifinalist in the singles category and a finalist in the doubles category, along with Desirae Krawczyk.


Jessica Pegula is the daughter of business giants Terry and Kim Pegula. They have their own family firm and are also the owners of Buffalo's NFL and NHL franchises. Pegula was introduced to tennis by her own family at the age of 7. She describes herself as determined and strong, which can clearly be seen on the tennis court.
