Pegula Will Miss Middle East Swing with Neck Injury

By Chris Oddo | @TheFanChild | Friday February 2 2024

Jessica Pegula took an earlier than expected loss at this year’s Australian Open, falling in the second round to France’s Clara Burel, 6-4, 6-2.

Now the World No.4 will take a few weeks off.

Pegula has elected to skip this year’s events in Doha and Dubai, citing a neck injury.

The 29-year-old was a runner-up in Doha last year, and reached the semifinals in Dubai.
