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.

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.
