Pegula plays a clean, efficient aggressive baseline game built on early ball-striking and exceptional consistency. She takes the ball on the rise from both wings and redirects pace as well as anyone on tour.

She is not the biggest hitter in the top 10, but her timing, court positioning, and low error count make her extremely difficult to play through. Her game is built on depth, placement, and taking time away from opponents.

How her equipment supports her style: The Yonex EZONE 98 is a powerful yet controllable frame that rewards her clean, early-contact strikes. Luxilon Alu Power gives the control her flat, time-pressuring style demands.
