Personal life and background[]

Pegula is the daughter of South Korean mother, Kim Pegula and the middle daughter of American professional sports investor and natural gas tycoon Terry Pegula. Pegula resides in West Palm Beach, FL. In August 2016, it was announced that Pegula and her sister would be opening a quick serve restaurant called Healthy Scratch in LECOM Harborcenter, an ice hockey themed mixed-use development owned by her parents in Buffalo, New York.[1] The Healthy Scratch business was to be expanded to food truck service in 2017.[2] In 2017, Pegula introduced her own skincare line called Ready 24.[3]

Career[]

2011–2012: Grand Slam doubles and WTA debut[]

On August 30, 2011, Pegula was granted a wildcard into the main draw of the US Open doubles tournament where she was paired with Taylor Townsend. They eventually lost in the third round to the third-seeded team of Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova.

In March 2012, Pegula was given a wildcard to the qualifying draw in Indian Wells, and surprised higher ranked players Bojana Jovanovski and Paula Ormaechea to qualify for the main draw where she lost to Magdaléna Rybáriková in three sets.

2015: Grand Slam singles debut and first WTA win at the US Open[]

Pegula made her Grand Slam singles debut at the 2015 US Open as a qualifier. She defeated Shuko Aoyama, Margarita Gasparyan and Melanie Oudin to reach the main draw where she beat Alison Van Uytvanck in the first round. In the second, Pegula was defeated by Dominika Cibulkova, in three sets.

2018: First WTA final and top 125 year-end ranking[]

In 2018, Pegula reached her first WTA singles final at the Tournoi de Québec in September as a qualifier. She beat Kristýna Plíšková, Ons Jabeur, second seed Petra Martić and fifth seed Sofia Kenin en route to the final,[4] where she lost to eighth seed Pauline Parmentier in straight sets. This brought her ranking back inside the top 200 and helped her finish the year inside the top 125.

2019: First WTA title and top 100 year-end ranking[]

Pegula began the year primarily playing on the ITF Circuit, before cracking inside the top 100 in February for the first time in her career. This allowed her to enter several larger WTA Tour events, including in Indian Wells and Miami. Her best result during the early clay court season came in Charleston, where she upset world No. 12, Anastasija Sevastova,[5] en-route to the third round. This helped her break inside the top 75 for the first time. She also competed in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament other than the US Open for the first time. She was defeated in the first round of the French Open by eventual champion Ashleigh Barty before falling in the same stage at Wimbledon to Mihaela Buzărnescu.

Pegula achieved the best result of her career at the start of the North American hardcourt season when she won her first WTA career singles title at the Washington Open, defeating Camila Giorgi in the final.[6] This took her to a new career-high ranking of world no. 55. Despite failing to win another main draw match the rest of the season, Pegula finished the year ranked inside the top 100 for the first time, at No. 76.

2020: ASB Classic finalist and first third round of a Grand Slam at the US Open[]

Jessica started her 2020 tennis season in Auckland at the ASB Classic. She defeated CiCi Bellis in the first round. She followed this up with two more straight set victories over Tamara Zidanšek and Alizé Cornet to reach the semifinals. In the semi-finals, she beat Caroline Wozniacki in three sets to advance to her third career WTA singles final. Facing off against compatriot and 23-time Grand Slam singles winner Serena Williams for the first time, Pegula lost in straight sets.[7] She then competed at the Australian Open for the first time, where she was defeated by another American, Taylor Townsend, in straight sets in the first round.

Pegula's next big triumph came at the Western & Southern Open, a Premier 5 tournament. Having already beaten two Russians to qualify for the main draw, she opened her campaign with a straight sets win over American Jennifer Brady followed by a win over another countrywoman, 2019 French Open semifinalist Amanda Anisimova. She then caused a huge upset by defeating fifth seed and world No. 11, Aryna Sabalenka,[8] in the third round, thus advancing to her first quarterfinal at any WTA Premier level event. Her run came to an end with a straight-sets loss to 14th seed Elise Mertens.[9] This took her ranking back inside the top 65.

At the US Open, Pegula recovered from a set down to record her first Grand Slam main-draw win since the 2015 US Open, defeating Marie Bouzková in a third-set tiebreak. She then beat Kirsten Flipkens to advance to the third round of a Grand Slam event for the first time, where she lost to sixth seed and former world No. 2, Petra Kvitová.[10]

2021: First Grand Slam quarterfinal, Top 20 ranking and Olympics debut[]

Pegula at the 2021 Bad Homburg Open.

Pegula attained major success at the Australian Open, defeating former Australian Open champion and 12th seed Victoria Azarenka, Kristina Mladenovic, former US Open champion Samantha Stosur and fifth seed Elina Svitolina to reach her first Grand Slam quarterfinal[11] where she lost to eventual runner-up Jennifer Brady despite winning the first set. This strong showing at the Australian Open in February allowed Pegula to enter the top 50 for the first time and took her to a new career-high ranking of world No. 43.[12]

Later in April she achieved another career-high of world No. 32 after reaching the semifinals at the Qatar Open as a qualifier where she lost to the eventual champion Petra Kvitova[13][14] and a fourth round run as a seeded player at the 2021 Miami Open losing to Maria Sakkari in a tight three set match. Her third round win over Karolína Plíšková in Miami was the third win in a row in three tournaments over the same player.[15]

In May, at the Italian Open where she participated for the first time, she recorded the biggest victory of her career over world No. 2 Naomi Osaka in the second round. This was her fifth top 10 win in 2021 and in her career.[16] She next prevailed over Ekaterina Alexandrova to set up a quarterfinal with Petra Martic. Thanks to this great showing at her second WTA 1000 quarterfinal in 2021, after the one at 2021 Dubai Tennis Championships, she entered the top 30 for the first time.

In June, at the 2021 French Open, she reached the third round for the first time in her career where she lost to 4th seed Sofia Kenin.[17] At the Berlin Open, Pegula reached the quarterfinals defeating for the fourth time Karolína Plíšková in their fourth in a row meeting in 2021. As a result, she entered the top 25 on June 21, 2021.

She reached her third WTA 1000 quarterfinal of 2021 at the Canada Masters in the 2021 National Bank Open edition in Montreal, defeating compatriot Danielle Collins in a close three set match needing six match points to win in a thrilling finish.[18] She then went on to reach her first WTA 1000 semifinal and second for the season, defeating 13th seed Ons Jabeur in 88 minutes.[19] At the 2021 US Open (tennis), she reached the third round for a second consecutive year. At the 2021 BNP Paribas Open Masters in Indian Wells, she reached her fourth WTA 1000 quarterfinal, defeating world No. 7 (her 7th top-10 win for the season) and fourth seed Elina Svitolina before she lost to former two-time champion Victoria Azarenka.[20]

2022: Second Australian Open quarterfinal and American No. 2[]

She started her season in Melbourne, where she played as a top seed but lost to Irina-Camelia Begu in the first round. In Sydney, she lost to Caroline Garcia in the first round.

At the Australian Open she defeated Anhelina Kalinina, Bernarda Pera, Nuria Párrizas Díaz and 5th seed Maria Sakkari to reach her second consecutive quarterfinal at this Major. She lost the quarterfinal to world No. 1 and eventual champion Ashleigh Barty, but moved to her highest ranking in singles of No. 16 and No. 41 in doubles on January 31, 2022.

World TeamTennis[]

Pegula made her World TeamTennis debut in 2020 joining the Orlando Storm at the start of the season, which was played at The Greenbrier.[24]

Pegula emerged as one of the top players in the WTT 2020 season. After the dismissal of Danielle Collins, Pegula went on to play women's singles, women's doubles with Darija Jurak, and mixed doubles with Ken Skupski and Tennys Sandgren. She posted a strong 9-2 record in singles to help the Storm earn a No. 3 seed in the WTT Playoffs. The Storm would ultimately fall to the Chicago Smash in the semifinals.
