She's been on the court more than double the time of the No. 1 singles seed. Jessica Pegula is playing singles, doubles and mixed doubles -- and has continued to advance in all three.
"I feel like mixed to me is just a fun way to go out there and be able to compete," Pegula said."I think as long as you're feeling OK physically, and the schedule isn't horrible at the time, I don't know, I enjoy it. ... For me it's fun to go out there, especially playing with an American at the US Open."
Pegula, who played in all three draws this year at the Australian Open and the French Open as well, said sometimes the scheduling and inclement weather can make it nearly impossible to play all three. She had to withdraw from mixed doubles at Wimbledon earlier this summer, but otherwise is just happy to be playing as much tennis as she can.
Through Saturday night, Pegula, the No. 3 seed in the singles draw, had spent a total of 7 hours and 47 minutes on court.
