Jessica Pegula made a good start to her 2021 Grass season as she made it till the quarter-finals of the WTA Berlin Open 2021. Pegula had not been good on Grass earlier but with an improved form this season on all surfaces, she looks a force to reckon with on Grass as well.

Pegula has 1 semi-final and 4 quarter-final runs this year which includes her last-8 run at the 2021 Australian Open. She will look to extend her record on Grass as well before the all-important 2021 Wimbledon which begins from 28th June, 2021 as she still chases her maiden Grand Slam title after winning her first and only WTA title in 2019 at the Washington Open.

Amandine Hesse will be making her Grass debut of the season at the 2021 Bad Humborg Open 2021. The 28-year old French national has been busy on the WTA 125 tournaments and will be playing her 1st WTA-250 event since March, 2021.
