Jessica Pegula Shares Injury Update After Madrid Open Exit, Focus on Rome Masters
Jessica Pegula has opened up about her injury struggles after a surprising third-round exit at the 2025 Madrid Open, just days before the start of the Rome Masters. The World No. 3 tennis player has been dealing with several nagging injuries over the past few weeks, which contributed to her early departure from the prestigious clay-court event in Spain. Despite her disappointment, Pegula remains optimistic about her chances at the upcoming Italian Open and is working hard to recover in time for the competition.
The American star took to social media to share her current status, revealing that she had been managing multiple minor injuries that flared up during her Madrid campaign. She admitted that the physical toll of the season, coupled with a stressful travel schedule, had affected her form. Pegula, however, emphasized her commitment to getting back to full fitness, even after an exhausting eight-hour delay at Newark airport caused her to arrive home late into the night.
In her post, Pegula mentioned a brief trip back home to focus on recovery, where she has been receiving treatment and taking time to rest. With the Rome Masters just around the corner, she is determined to be ready for one of the most important events on the WTA calendar. Pegula’s best performance at the Italian Open came in 2021, where she made it to the quarterfinals. This year, she is hopeful for a deep run, especially considering her solid start to the 2025 season.
Having secured titles in Charleston and Austin earlier in the year, along with strong showings in Miami and Adelaide, Pegula is poised to continue her excellent form. Fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on her recovery as the Rome Masters approaches.
