3 career with one WTA 1000 title to one that has a WTA Finals trophy and contending for No. That changed this week with her title run and honestly, sometimes it just takes one match to turn a No. After being scarily consistent throughout the year, she was always the bridesmaid. While Swiatek is the one to beat, I think with how Guadalajara unfolded, this may be Jessica Pegula’s chance to turn her misfortunes against the Pole around. With most of the field qualifying just this past week, could momentum swing in their favor? Historically, those qualifying late into the season - Caroline Garcia in 2017 or Anett Kontaveit, last year for example - continued their form into deep runs at the tournament. I flip flop about if skipping Guadalajara was the right move, but she finaled in Ostrava and won San Diego and withdrew as a precaution to be be fresh. She’s the clear favorite to storm away with the title, and while I lean to agree, I think we should wait until the round robin groups are announced. Being among the true elite could add some extra pressure.
