Jessica Pegula, a top-ranked tennis player, hopes to join the elite "Big Three" in women's tennis, which includes Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina.
Pegula has consistently reached the quarterfinals in six of her recent twelve major tournaments, demonstrating her skill and consistency.
While she won't win a Grand Slam this year, a victory at the ongoing WTA Finals would be a significant step in her journey.
Tennis experts like Paul Annacone see Pegula's intelligence and lack of weaknesses in her game as her key strengths.
Despite not having a powerful game, Pegula's unique ball placement and speed make her a formidable opponent.
Her coach, David Witt, has helped her fine-tune her game, making her a complete and well-balanced player in the Women's Tennis Association (WTA).
To succeed at a major, Pegula needs to become more confident and less conservative during critical moments.
Experts believe that a few strategic changes and continuing to work on her game can lead to a Grand Slam victory for Pegula.
Overcoming her initial struggles, including not winning any tournaments until age 25, Pegula has shown her determination and patience.
Pegula's journey to a Grand Slam title is ultimately a mental challenge, but with the right mindset, she has the potential to reach the top in women's tennis.
