"I just didn’t really feel like it was worth it" admits Jessica Pegula after snubbing Stuttgart after Billie Jean King Cup
WTATuesday, 16 April 2024 at 22:14
America’s tennis star Jessica Pegula has revealed that she
decided to skip the WTA tournament in Stuttgart because of playing too much in
the recent past. The 30-year-old recently took part in the Billie Jean King Cup
where she represented Team USA who ended up defeating Belgium 3-0 to book their
place in the finals of the event which is scheduled to take place in Seville.
Pegula, who won both of her matches in the competition, became
one of the most high-profile players to skip the tournament in Stuttgart and she
was recently quoted in a report where she revealed the primary reason for skipping
the mega-event.
"Yeah, I pulled out of Stuttgart a couple of days ago just
because the turnaround is just too tough,” she said. “I was thinking I could
maybe go and play, but the flight situation wasn't great getting there. I'd
have to leave tonight. I just didn't really feel like it was worth it. Plus it
kind of extends my trip into Europe a week to 10 days earlier. I just wanted to
get a really good kind of week at home on the clay, back to clay, to prep for
Madrid, Rome and French."
