World No. 3 Jessica Pegula kicks off the 2025 Wimbledon campaign with a first-round clash against Elisabetta Cocciaretto of Italy. The American ace is riding on high confidence after a grass-court title last week. Cocciaretto, on the other hand, found a momentum in Hertogenbosch so it would be a great matchup on Court No. 2.

Jessica Pegula vs. Elisabetta Cocciaretto Preview

Jessica Pegula enters the Wimbledon 2025 with a grass-court title in Bad Homburg. She defeated Navarro, Noskova, and Swiatek in her title journey. The American ace has posted a 35-12 record this season with three titles in Austin, Charleston, and Bad Homburg. She has won two titles on grass court in her career and she is back to form on this surface at right time. Her best run at Wimbledon came in 2023 when she reached the quarterfinals. She has a strong record against unseeded players. Her record in Grand Slam opening round is terrific, winning 8 consecutive first round matches.

Elisabetta Cocciaretto had a roller-coaster journey this season. The Italian ace made into the semifinals at Hertogenbosch after beating Hartono, Pera, and Lamens. The 24-year-old reached the main draw of Eastbourne but suffered a first-round exit. However, two grass-court wins in qualifiers have boosted her confidence ahead of the Wimbledon. The former No. 29 reached third round here in 2023 and second round in 2022. She is yet to win a match against the top-5 player.
