Jessica Pegula Turns Wimbledon Into a Fast Day at the Office Against Bouzas Maneiro
Jessica Pegula does not always make dominance look loud. Sometimes it looks like this: early breaks, clean service games, constant return pressure and a scoreboard that moves with very little drama.

Gauff Cruises as Pegula Survives a Trickier Wimbledon Start

Gauff Gets the Kindest Landing as Pegula’s Wimbledon Quarter Carries More Edge

Jessica Pegula Turns a Rain-Delay Gut Punch Into a Berlin Bagel Against Aryna Sabalenka
Jessica Pegula had every reason to feel robbed by the weather. She was leading Aryna Sabalenka 3-1 in a second-set tie-break, two points from reaching the Berlin final in straight sets, when the rain arrived. The covers came on. The players left. The momentum vanished into the grey. For plenty of players, that would have…

Kimberly Birrell Finds Her Kylie Minogue Moment in Paris as Pegula Crashes Out of Roland Garros
For one set, Kimberly Birrell looked trapped in the wrong Netflix documentary about an Australian comeback.

From Sorana Cirstea’s Renaissance to Mirra Andreeva’s Relentlessness — Rome’s Quarter-finals Suddenly Feel Wide Open
Rome was supposed to sharpen the hierarchy before Roland Garros. Instead, it has scrambled it. Partly. The world No. 1 is gone. The defending champion is gone. Madison Keys is gone.

Jessica Pegula Delivers First Double Bagel of Career in Ruthless Rome Demolition

Marta Kostyuk Dismantles Pegula to Extend Surge and Shake Up Madrid draw
Jessica Pegula arrived in Madrid as one of the steadiest forces on the WTA Tour. She left it outplayed, outmanoeuvred, and ultimately overrun by a Marta Kostyuk performance that carried both clarity and conviction. The Ukrainian advanced 6-1, 6-4, but the scoreline only hints at the underlying control she exerted throughout. Kostyuk punishes wasteful Pegula…

The clay swing does not treat everyone equally. Some arrive with freedom, others with a ledger to protect.

Just a…

Miami Round of 16 Recap: Rybakina halts Gibson surge as Sabalenka, Pegula, Mboko and Gauff headline quarter-finalists

Elena Rybakina Has to Dig Deep into Her Service Arsenal to Get Past Jessica Pegula and Reach the Indian Wells Semifinals
When Elena Rybakina finds her rhythm, the rest of the WTA Tour often finds itself reacting rather than dictating. That was the story again in the BNP Paribas Open quarterfinals, where the Kazakh star defeated Jessica Pegula 6–1, 7–6(4) to advance to the semifinals in Indian Wells. The scoreline reflected two very different sets: one…
