Jessica Pegula is once again a winner on the WTA Tour, having beaten Iga Swiatek in the final of the Bad Homburg Open.
Pegula told Swiatek to cut herself ‘some slack’ after their final, in which the American beat the Pole 6-4, 7-5.
The champion was the top seed at the WTA 500 tournament on grass, with runner-up Swiatek having been the fourth.
Brad Gilbert likes Pegula’s chances at Wimbledon, where the Bad Homburg Open champion is the third seed.
Pegula enters the Grand Slam as a nine-time winner on the WTA Tour, and takes on Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto in round one.

But she has just been celebrating her latest success, with Pegula writing on Instagram: “Only good things in Bad Homburg. Thanks for all the love and support this week. Now time for a special one at Wimbledon.”
And two fellow Americans and fellow WTA stars were quick to comment on the post, delighted for Pegula ahead of Wimbledon.
French Open champion Coco Gauff wrote: “Congratulations,” while Australian Open winner Madison Keys wrote: “Another one.”
Jessica Pegula WTA career titles heading into Wimbledon
Pegula has truly been flying high in the current season so far, having just picked up her third WTA Tour title of 2025.
She previously triumphed at Charleston and Austin, with her latest success coming at the perfect time in the calendar.
The American star has, however, only ever managed to reach the quarter-finals at Wimbledon and no further.
She progressed that far in 2023, failing to take that momentum into 2024 as she exited after just two rounds.

But the experienced player is in form going into Wimbledon, where she will be looking to replicate the success of Gauff and Keys from this season’s previous Grand Slams.
World number two Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final earlier this month, with world number eight Keys having also defeated the Belarusian to win the Australian Open title.
