It’s all because of the rackets. Jessica Pegula named the reason for her defeat in the US Open final
Today, the US Open women’s singles final took place, with victory going to the world’s second-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, who defeated sixth-seeded Jessica Pegula of the USA.
Details: The American tennis player lost both sets 5-7. In the second set, Pegula briefly reignited the match, coming back from 0-3 to 5-3, but ultimately squandered the lead and lost. During the match, Pegula complained to her coach about her rackets, but received no advice in return.
Quote: “I’ve tried every racket in my bag. They’re all so bad. My ball feels dead. My ball is landing in the service box. It’s like baseball,” Pegula told her coach, who replied that there was no time for such discussions.
Reminder: Sabalenka secured the US Open title on her second attempt. Last year, she also reached the final, where she lost to another American, Coco Gauff.
After the match, Sabalenka expressed her immense joy, admitting it was difficult to find the right words to describe her feelings.
In a flash interview, Pegula jokingly said: “I wish she [Aryna Sabalenka] had let me win one set.”
Today, the US Open men’s singles final will take place, featuring world No. 1 Jannik Sinner from Italy and 12th-ranked Taylor Fritz from the USA.
