Pegula has only played six matches this season and, shockingly, has yet to play any doubles matches. Last season, Pegula played 30 matches by the end of February and was also active in doubles. She has not had a good start this season and is currently without a coach. Pegula split with her former coach, David Witt, a few weeks back.
Jessica Pegula expected to make a comeback amid injury concerns
The WTA tour had a hectic schedule in February, as four events had already occurred. There are two ongoing events and two more events at the end of the month. With so many events, Pegula has yet to be featured in any of them. She had skipped the Middle East tour due to a neck injury.
The world No. 5 will be next seen at the Cymbiotika San Diego Open. The event will begin on February 26 and will be Pegula’s first event without her coach, Witt. She is aiming for her first title in four months and has yet to win three matches this season. Pegula must perform well in San Diego to set the tone for this season.
The 29-year-old has begun her practice sessions and has also been resting due to the injury. Pegula is expected to be the top seed at San Diego and will be joined by Karolina Muchova. The main draw list will be confirmed by February 25. The fans are waiting for Pegula to make a winning return to the courts.
