While some of her closest friends on tour are retiring, Jessica Pegula is only getting better with age. Next up: Iga Swiatek in the US Open quarterfinals.
in the first round, Pegula knew it would be emotional no matter what happened. Rogers had announced that the tournament would be her final one before retiring, and after Pegula had secured the straight-sets win, the weight of the moment seemed to hit.
"Well, I always say I just need to win a match to get to the semis and then that'll solve everything, right?" Pegula said during her on-court interview Monday when asked about what it would take to advance."But I mean, it doesn't really matter to me. I mean, every match is every match. I've always played it like that. It just so happens to be quarterfinals."But at the same time, to be able to say I've been in that position many, many times is great.
But, despite her high ranking, Pegula hasn't fared as well at majors this year as she has in recent seasons. She was upset in the second round at both the Australian Open and Wimbledon -- tournaments in which she had reached the quarters in 2023 -- and was unable to play at the French Open, or any of the clay season, due to an undisclosed injury.
