Since 2021, Jessica Pegula has achieved the remarkable feat of registering 35+ wins in consecutive WTA seasons, a feat accomplished after Poland’s Iga Swiatek, who is the current number one in the WTA rankings. She achieved this feat by defeating Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the Citi Open in Washington and advanced to the semi-finals.

Top seed at the Citi Open 2023, Jessica Pegular had to come back from a set down to beat the Ukrainian Svitolina and seal her place in the semi-finals.

She has been in fine form post COVID-19 and also won her maiden WTA 1000 title in singles at the Guadalajara Open in 2022 where she defeated Maria Sakkari in straight sets. The title win made the first American to win a WTA 1000 title since Madison Keys in 2019. It also helped her achieve her career best rankings of World No. 3 in singles. She is currently ranked fourth in the WTA rankings.
