Jessica Pegula is an American right-hander who overcame a series of significant injuries early in her career to become a fixture in the world's top five, reaching the final of the US Open. Known for a smart, consistent baseline game built on excellent court positioning rather than overpowering pace, she is the daughter of Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula. Her steady rise through her late twenties made her one of the leading Americans on tour alongside Coco Gauff and Madison Keys.
