For fans of women’s tennis, Jessica Pegula is one of the greatest, and the best confirmation of that is her consistency and great performances that we have been watching for years.
Her season was filled with exciting moments, but also less exciting ones. However, when the line is drawn, Pegula can be satisfied with her performances.
The WTA finals will be a significant challenge for her, and the American tennis player emphasized in a media interview how great it is to be at the very top of the WTA rankings.
“Being able to speak something into existence doesn’t happen to everybody,” Pegula said, as quoted by Tennis Up To Date.
“It’s a different feeling, I think, when you know you’ve been a top ten player or a top five player. You feel different — you feel like you have an edge a little bit. You feel maybe more pressure, but you also feel more experience, more knowledge.”
Jessica Pegula talks about happy moments
Tennis is a sport that is full of ups and downs. One moment you feel in control, the next you may face a serious setback. The most important thing in all of this is knowing how to deal with such situations and how to come out victorious.
Pegula stressed that she had many deceptive moments during the season, but positive emotions seemed to prevail from tournament to tournament. That mindset has allowed her to truly excel in many matches this season, and the WTA Finals will be a real challenge for the experienced tennis player.
“There have been a lot of moments where I’ve been really happy,” she said. “I don’t think there’s ever one pivotal moment, but there’s been a lot, to be honest. And it’s hard, though. With tennis, you’re happy if you win a tournament or you win a big match, and then you kind of go on to the next week and it restarts all over.”
