Journalist on how Pegula has limitations which need to be removed to reach potential: "The big task in her career is to break through that ceiling"

Jessica Pegula was looking really strong for much of her stay in Australia but ultimately she wasn't able to go all the way which is something she needs to figure out.

Noter tennis journalist Tumaini Cayarol was a guest on the No Challenges Remaining podcast and he talked about Pegula and what needs to change in the future so she becomes a major-winning player. He said:

"She [Jessica Pegula] took this draw of opponents to reach the quarterfinals (of the Australian Open), winning the first four rounds, overall was very good in terms of quality. But then, I've actually told this before, I leave it open just thinking that her ceiling is pretty clear and you know, the big task in her career is to break through that ceiling."

He added:

"This wasn't 2012 Azarenka. You know, destroying [Maria] Sharapova in the final, it was not that level. But, Azarenka put her under pressure and played like the two-times (Australian Open) champion she is. She [Pegula] just couldn't keep up. At the moment, she seems like she's excellent at beating players. But, she has a ceiling."

Pegula is yet to win a big trophy in her career despite having a few chances to do so.
