    Next, they move to Charleston as Jessica Pegula defends her title and continues her strong 2026, with debate over whether she can win a major given the problems posed by Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. In Major News, they highlight Marco Trungelliti becoming the oldest player to debut in the Top 100 and Rafael Jodar’s rapid rise, then finish with Stevies Stats, John’s Serve Bot of the Week, a Monte Carlo preview and picks.
