Jessica Pegula may not be the World No. 1 in singles yet, but the 31-year-old is making everyone stand up and take note of her recent performances in singles and doubles. Pegula won her first WTA title in 2019 and hasn't looked back since. She broke into the Top 100 the same year and has reached the quarterfinal stages of multiple Majors since 2021. As of March 2025, Jessica Pegula has fourteen career titles (seven in singles and seven in doubles). Additionally, she reached the mixed doubles final at the 2023 US Open.

The 31-year-old's Grand Slam accomplishments include reaching the quarterfinals of all four Grand Slam tournaments in the singles category. It includes reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open thrice, the French Open (2022), and Wimbledon (2023) once in her career.
