"Players need to do this more": Tennis fans praise Pegula for calling out journalists tweeting she cried after US Open loss
WTATuesday, 05 September 2023 at 23:15
Fans
reacted to Jessica Pegula's comments about journalists after her defeat at the
US Open.
The World
No. 3 was one of the local hopes for the US Open trophy to return to American
hands, something that hasn't happened since 2017 with Sloane Stephens.
However,
Pegula suffered a resounding defeat in the fourth round against her compatriot
Madison Keys with a convincing score of 6-1, 6-3. The recent champion of the
Canadian Open once again failed to reach the later stages of a Grand Slam, as
she has never gone beyond the quarterfinals.
Following
this tough loss, some media outlets shared a photo of Pegula claiming that she
was crying after her elimination. In response, the American tennis player
addressed the press to clarify that she did not cry after the defeat:
"Were
you guys the ones that tweeted that I cried when I walked off the court?
Weren't you guys The Tennis Podcast? Someone said I walked off the court in
tears. I most definitely was not crying. I'm pretty sure that was from you
guys. I don't know if you tweeted it exactly. I definitely wasn't crying,"
Pegula said.

will be the number 1 ranked American for too much longer. If Mad or Coco win
the tournament then one them will over take her.”
