The preparations for the Wimbledon Championships are reaching its final stages. Iga Swiatek, surprisingly, chose to not participate in any grass court events before the championships. While her rivals, Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina, are playing in as many grass tournaments as possible. Nick Kyrgios just withdrew from the Mallorca Open to stay fit for the Grass Slam. But nothing screams unconventional than playing golf to prepare for a Grand Slam. That is exactly what the American WTA star Jessica Pegula did.

The internet went ablaze over it, and many prominent entities commented on her preparation method. Pegula posted the video on Instagram, and she received nothing but encouragement and praise, even from the golf legends.

Jessica Pegula garners the admiration of stars with her golf swing

The WTA star posted a series of videos and pictures featuring her and others playing golf. She captioned the post, “grass szn prep ?.” The comment section immediately filled with appreciation for her, from Jessica Korda, Taylor Townsend, and Shelby Rogers to a Hall of Famer coach. Whatever Pegula does, fans are always there to support and encourage her.

Impressed with her practice, Jessica Korda, the six times LPGA tour event winner, commented, “Looks Solid.” Taylor Townsend, who recently revealed her motto for the grass season this year, commented, “It makes so much sense that you are good at golf.” Shelby Rogers, who recently shared her pictures of practicing, wrote, “Grip Change,” indicating her transition from tennis to golf.

Out of the numerous comments the fifth seed received, one comment stood out. It was from Serena Williams’ ex-coach, Rennae Stubbs, who admired Pegula’s golf swing by commenting, “Solid Mate.” The American player is yet to win a major title, and fans eagerly await her debut Slam title. Is Pegula one of the favorites for the upcoming Wimbledon Championships?

The chances for Pegula at Wimbledon

The former number two is eyeing her first Grand Slam title of her career. Although her singles campaign at Roland Garros ended in disappointment, in doubles, though, she was paired with Coco Gauff and reached the semifinals. They were beaten by fellow American Taylor Townsend and Leylah Fernandez.

The twenty-nine-year-old does not boast a rich record on grass. She played Wimbledon only thrice in her career and did not get past the third round. But in other Slams, she reached the quarterfinals five times, which indicated that she needs to work more on her game when it comes to grass.
