Jessica Pegula started her season strong, reaching the finals of the Adelaide International but losing to Madison Keys in the title match. Her first title win came at the ATX Open, and she went on to secure her maiden clay-court title at the Charleston Open. Pegula had hoped to improve her US Open results but was ultimately ousted by eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals.

As she continues her Wuhan Open campaign, Pegula revealed that she would retire from the sport immediately after embracing motherhood. She has been with her long-term partner, Taylor Gahagen, and the couple has yet to welcome a third member. (via The Player's Box podcast)

"No. There is no chance I would come back after having a kid. I admire and respect the ones that do but that's just not on the cards for me. I cannot see myself doing that at all," she said. (beginning 11:59)

Pegula won nine singles and seven doubles titles on the WTA tour and reached five Grand Slam quarterfinals in her career.
