In a news release on behalf of Hubs, officials noted that “as a top talent in American tennis, Kessler embodies the passion, perseverance and performance that align perfectly with the Hubs brand.”
As of Monday, June 23, Kessler was ranked No. 32 in the world according to the Public Investment Fund Women’s Tennis Association Singles Rankings.
Founded in 1954, Hubs has always championed quality, tradition and dedication — values Kessler shares on and off the court, officials stated in the release. This collaboration aims to promote a healthy lifestyle powered by natural, protein-rich snacks like Virginia peanuts while supporting women’s athletics and inspiring the next generation of athletes.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kessler to the Hubs family,” said Marshall Rabil, director of sales and marketing at Hubs Peanuts. “She’s an incredible competitor with a bright future, and her commitment to excellence mirrors our own. We’re excited to tell a story of tradition meeting tenacity.”
As part of the partnership, Kessler will be featured in upcoming marketing campaigns, in-store promotions and other fun events throughout the year.

“I’ve always been passionate about nutrition and fueling my game the right way,” Kessler said. “Partnering with Hubs Peanuts is a natural fit. Peanuts greatly benefit my training diet, and I’m proud to represent a brand with such a strong heritage and commitment to quality.”
The partnership marks a significant step forward in Hubs’ continued support of athletes who embody the brand’s core values of grit, determination and heart.
“(Kessler) actually just won in England this past weekend heading into Wimbledon, which is exciting,” Rabil said in a Monday, June 23, interview with The Tidewater News.
Kessler’s victory came in the Lexus Nottingham Open.
“For her second season playing on grass, it’s a remarkable win,” Rabil said.
In February at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, Kessler recorded a victory over fellow U.S. standout Coco Gauff, who was ranked No. 2 in the PIF WTA Singles Rankings as of June 23.
