Jessica Pegula is a force on the tennis court. While at the Bad Homburg Open on June 28, she clinched a 6-4, 7-5 win against Iga Swiatek, marking her ninth career singles title. This match followed the ATX Open in Texas and the Credit One Charleston Open in South Carolina - both of which she won. The professional tennis player also competed in the Miami Open and Wimbledon this year, and she's set to take the court again at the U.S. Open in Queens, New York, where she'll play singles and mixed doubles.
Pegula is currently ranked fourth in the world in singles, but she's also known for taking the world by storm alongside Coco Gauff throughout 2022 and 2023. The pair won multiple tournaments together, including the Miami Open. Since Pegula is constantly on the go for matches, she partnered with World of Hyatt Hotels, both to enjoy the hotel gyms and breakfasts, and also to engage with fans. Through this collab, Pegula will offer expert tennis insight and provide World of Hyatt members with exciting opportunities to be a part of the sport.
Pegula's intense travel schedule means she's also constantly adjusting her pregame rituals. Even though tournaments might seem tidy and organized to the audience, there's often some last-minute scrambling going on behind the scenes. "Since I'm always following matches, warm-ups can be tricky to manage. You never know exactly when you're going to go on," she says. "There's definitely been some matches where all of a sudden it'll go really fast or maybe the person before me gets hurt, and I'll think, 'Oh my gosh, I wasn't expecting that. It's me [up next!]'"
