Jessica Pegula has been backed to win a Grand Slam this year by Rick Macci with the legendary coach also stating she “is really the American Master ranked No 3”.
Jessica Pegula has solidified her status as the top American women’s tennis player, earning the title of the real ‘American Master’ ahead of rising star Coco Gauff and seasoned competitor Madison Keys. While Gauff and Keys have had their moments in the spotlight, Pegula’s consistency, versatility, and ability to perform on the biggest stages have set her apart.
Ranked among the world’s top players, Pegula has been a force on tour, proving that hard work and persistence pay off. Her intelligent shot selection, strong baseline game, and ability to adapt across surfaces make her a formidable opponent. Unlike Gauff, who is still refining her game, or Keys, who has struggled with consistency, Pegula has quietly built a reputation as the most reliable American contender.
Despite her calm demeanor, Pegula’s game speaks volumes. She has claimed victories over some of the biggest names in tennis and continues to be a serious threat at Grand Slams and WTA events. While Gauff and Keys remain in the conversation, Pegula’s ability to outshine them on the court proves that she is not just a top American player—she is the American ace to watch.
