Jessica Pegula Shares Her Six Essential Items for Wellness and Travel

Jessica Pegula, the No. 4 ranked women's tennis player in the world and the top-ranked American, has shared her essential items that support her wellness routines and travel needs. Pegula, who also founded her own skincare brand, Ready 24, emphasizes the connection between feeling good and performing well, both on and off the court.

"The big points, long rallies and high-pressure moments fans see on the court all come from the work you put in behind the scenes and the daily habits you build over time," Pegula told Page Six Style. She highlighted six key products that are part of her regimen.

For travel, Pegula relies on the Afform Medium Traveler Bag to keep her essentials organized. "I spend so much of the year living out of a suitcase, so anything that keeps me organized while I’m traveling is a must," she stated. She added that these bags allow her to see everything without extensive searching, simplifying packing and unpacking.

To support her physical well-being, Pegula incorporates Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides into her daily routine. "As an athlete, taking care of my body is a priority, especially throughout a long and demanding season," she explained. She mixes the peptides into smoothies, coffee, or water, noting that they help her "look, move and feel my best."

Daily essentials include LuSeren Hair Clips, which she keeps in her purse as a match-day necessity to keep her hair out of her face. "And you can never have too many, because they always seem to disappear when you need them most!" she quipped.

For monitoring her physical condition, Pegula uses the Whoop 5.0 device. "Recovery is such a huge part of being a professional athlete," she said. The device tracks her sleep, recovery, and strain, providing daily insights into her body's status.

Sunscreen is a non-negotiable item for Pegula, who spends significant time outdoors. She favors Supergoop! Play Sunscreen for its ease of application and durability during intense matches. "Protecting my skin is a big part of my routine, whether I’m on the court or traveling. It’s one thing I never want to be without," she affirmed.

Finally, Pegula uses Bose QuietComfort Headphones to help her maintain focus and calm before matches. While she enjoys listening to music, she prefers more laid-back tunes to manage pre-game nerves. "There’s already enough nervous energy in the stadium, so I like to do what I can to stay in the zone," she commented.
