Jessica Pegula is channeling the momentum from her impressive US Open final run as inspiration for the upcoming Australian Open. After reaching her first Grand Slam final at the US Open, Pegula is feeling more confident in her abilities and believes the experience has prepared her to go even further in Melbourne.
“I’ve learned so much from that US Open run,” Pegula said, reflecting on her journey. “It gave me confidence in knowing I can compete with the best and handle the pressure of big moments.” The American tennis star, currently ranked in the top five, has consistently been a force on the WTA Tour, and her deep run at the US Open has given her the belief that she can contend for her first Grand Slam title.
Pegula’s success in New York was a breakthrough moment in her career, showcasing her resilience and adaptability on the sport’s biggest stage. She hopes to carry that mindset into the Australian Open, where she believes the hard courts in Melbourne suit her game well.
“I love playing in Australia, and the conditions there really suit my style of play,” Pegula added. “I’m excited to see how far I can go this year.” Known for her powerful groundstrokes and strategic play, Pegula is aiming to capitalize on her strong form and make a deep run in the first Grand Slam of the year.
With renewed confidence and a stronger mental approach, Pegula is determined to build on her US Open success and make her mark at the Australian Open, positioning herself as one of the key contenders for the title.
