Jessica Pegula
The world number 4 started the campaign with silverware in Adelaide but has since struggled to deliver title success. Pegula reached the Doha Open final and reached the semi-finals in Dubai, Miami and Charleston. Reaching the quarter-finals has been easy, as the American reached the top eight at the Australian Open, Madrid Masters, Eastbourne International and Wimbledon Open.
Peyton Stearns
Like Pegula, Stearns has a positive 2023. She betters her 35-12 win-loss record with a 36-13 record of her own. The 21-year-old’s results have come at lesser events and not on the main tour. Out of the 15 events she has participated in, she failed to cross the first hurdle on just four occasions.
