"Hopefully win more matches, I didn't do that great last year": Simple goal for Jessica Pegula in WTA Finals bid
WTASunday, 29 October 2023 at 01:00
Jessica Pegula talked about her goals for the 2023 WTA Finals, where she will be competing in both singles and doubles alongside Coco Gauff.
World No. 5 qualified for the WTA Finals for the second consecutive year and will once again be in both the singles and doubles draws. Despite a strong 2022, Jessica Pegula couldn't perform at her best in last year's edition and ended with six losses and no wins in both singles and doubles.
Another qualification in 2023 opens the possibility for Pegula to improve her results, so she was asked what she could do differently this year:
"Hopefully win more matches, at least one win in singles or doubles, and it will be better, so fingers crossed," she said.
The 2-time WTA 1000 champion is part of the Bacalar Group, along with Aryna Sabalenka (1st), Elena Rybakina (4th), and Maria Sakkari (8th). Her debut will be against former Wimbledon champion Rybakina, with Pegula holding a 2-1 head-to-head advantage.
Pegula in 2023
The American accumulated the highest number of wins in a single season with a 55-17 record and won two titles: the WTA 1000 Canadian Open and the WTA 250 Korea Open. Pegula also reached the final of the Qatar Open against Swiatek and the final of the Toray Pan Pacific Open against Veronika Kudermetova.
However, she couldn't replicate her form in Grand Slams, with her best results being quarterfinal appearances at the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
In doubles, partnering with Coco Gauff, she performed better in Grand Slams, reaching the semifinals in Australia and at the French Open. The duo also secured two titles and two finals in WTA 1000 events.
As the top seeds in doubles, the American pair will face the 7th-seeded doubles team of Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliff in the round-robin stage.
