The major highlight at the Libema Open is the return of Jessica Pegula. The world No. 6 is the highest-ranked player in the tournament, having played only two matches in the clay swing and reached the semifinals of the Charleston Open. Unfortunately, a back injury forced her to withdraw from Stuttgart, Madrid, Rome, and the French Open. Her return to the Tour is good news as she aims to regain form after two months without competition.
