Jessica Pegula showed her maximum in the final against Coco Gauff. However, the Wuhan Open was a challenging tournament, and on the way to the final, Pegula had many obstacles. Having an opponent like Gauff in the final is definitely the biggest barrier.
Gauff won her third WTA title at the Wuhan Open with a 6-4, 7-5 victory.
The 21-year-old ultimately won this tournament without losing a set, showing that the future of tennis belongs to her.
Jessica Pegula is known as a tennis player who often expresses respect and gratitude to her opponents. After the end of the match, the 31-year-old American congratulated Coco Gauff via Instagram, but she also showed her gratitude to the Chinese fans who stood firmly by her since the first day.

Jessica Pegula can be satisfied with her form
In an interview with the media, Jessica stressed that she is satisfied with the result, aware that these are good indicators for her future. As a tennis player who belongs to the top of the rankings, great results are expected from her, but it is clear that the competition in women's tennis is strong and that it is difficult to always dominate, especially when you have quality opponents like Coco Gauff opposite.

However, even defeat can be an important lesson, even for the most experienced.
It will be interesting to follow the future of Jessica Pegula, but also of the young Coco who, at 21 years old, shows that she has the potential to be at the very top of the tennis scene in the coming years.
The Wuhan Open certainly delivered what tennis fans wanted the excitement factor and the great final we could only wish for. Two great female tennis players put on a spectacle, and we hope the next final will be just as exciting.
