What racket does Jessica Pegula use?
Jessica Pegula is one of the players on tour with extreme confidence in Yonex rackets.
Pegula uses the Yonex EZONE 98, a racket she has deployed for the last five seasons.
Prior to making the switch to the Japanese brand, she was with French racket experts Babolat.
Pegula joins the likes of Noami Osaka and Belinda Bencic in deploying this particular racket.
She has her rackets strung with strings from Polytour Rev.
The reported strung weight of the racket is 320g.
Pegula favours the Adidas Barricade Women’s tennis shoe range for her footwear.
She engages in minimal commercial partnerships but launched her own skincare range, Ready 24.
Alongside her successes in singles, Pegula has also formed a formidable doubles pairing with compatriot Coco Gauff. The pair have enjoyed great success with an impressive strike rate when teaming up.
Jessica Pegula has come to be the nearly woman of the WTA Tour, with unlucky draws often proving her downfall.
The Pegula’s are Buffalo sporting royalty, owning as they do the Buffalo Bills NFL franchise and the Sabres in the NHL.
Pegula is likely well accustomed to the lifestyle of the rich and the famous but she tends to be found on the practice court more often than not.
She will often attend glitzy events with her family or husband, but she can also be spotted on the beach with her dogs.
Pegula is also known to enjoy classic cars and while she doesn’t have her name of the deeds, her family own properties all over the United States.
Her net worth is estimated at a modest $7.1 million, but that doesn’t take into account any wealth she might inherit from her parents.
Her father Terry Pegula is currently ranked as the 128th richest person in the United States of America with a net worth of $5 billion.
It stands to reason then that Pegula doesn’t need her career to take off for financial reasons.
However, she is still keen to make her own way and has launched a charitable foundation focused on animals as well as a skincare line.
After a consistent but largely barren 2021, Pegula made a step up in 2022.
She bagged her first career WTA 1000 doubles titles in Qatar and later at the Canadian Open alongside Coco Gauff.
Pegula also made her WTA 1000 singles breakthrough in 2022 claiming the final event of that level for the season in Guadalajara.
After being an alternate for the 2021 Tour finals, she took part in the WTA Tour finale for the first time in 2022.
Pegula has never been beyond the last eight in a Grand Slam but she reached that stage in three of the four Majors in 2022 and again made the quarters at Wimbledon in 2023.
