Pegula Rides Hot Hand
It has been 25 years since an American woman has won the singles title in Tennis Paradise. 32-year-old Jessica Pegula hopes to celebrate that anniversary with a grand victory for the American women. Stacked with talent, the American contingent currently boasts three Top-10 talents and five in the Top-20.
Pegula, who stormed to her tenth career title at Dubai on February 21st, carries the best form of them all. But she knows she’s not the only American with designs on the title.
“Our depth in the U.S. is pretty crazy right now,” Pegula said after claiming the title in Dubai with a win over Elina Svitolina. “I feel like every time I go deep, there’s multiple Americans that are there, especially now that we have Coco and Amanda doing so well… I’m glad that I’ve been able to be a part of this era.”
