"That was the most fun I've had all year": Jessica PEGULA turns personal corner after years of being on 'autopilot' on court

America’s tennis star Jessica Pegula has stated that she had a lot of ‘fun’ while playing at the Miami Open despite not getting the desired results.

The 30-year-old was knocked out from the mega-event after losing in the quarterfinal to Ekaterina Alexandrova with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

Pegula, in a detailed post on her social media platform Instagram, stated recently that she had a lot of fun playing in the competition. She also described how the last few years have been draining but stated that she has once again started to enjoy the sport.

“Gosh @miamiopen that was the most fun I've had all year. I really wanted that one...but thanks to the amazing crowd tonight,” she wrote. "It's been an *interesting* year for me but honestly I can walk away this week saying I feel like I'm getting back to enjoying the process.

“The last few years personally and on court have been draining, I've been on autopilot and grinding through some unhappy times. One thing I do want to change is embracing the love and support of fans.

“What I do is really cool, exhausting, definitely....but to be doing what I've dreamt about doing since I was 7 years old and signing autographs to kids who were just like me is really the COOLEST thing on earth. So thank you for all the support, always.”
