Jessica Pegula's Next Match Isn't on the Court

America's top-ranked woman in tennis is taking on new territory this season. Jessica Pegula has joined the sport's newly formed player's council, adding her voice to decisions that shape the tour for its competitors. She has also stepped behind a microphone of her own, launching a podcast alongside her place in the rankings. For a player already at the top of the American game, it's a case of building an influence that extends past the scoreline.
