World No.3 Jessica Pegula was left feeling disappointed after losing one of "the wildest matches" of her career.
Pegula fell to two-time Grand Slam champion Petra Kvitova in the round of 16 at the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells, failing to the Czech in a thrilling three-set encounter.
Taking to social media afterwards, Pegula admitted losing that match hurt her more than she let on following the match.
"That one hurt. One of the wildest matches I’ve played. Not much else to say just back to work.," she wrote on Instagram.
The 29-year old followed it up with another update on Twitter.
"The ups & downs of this sport I’ll never get used to. Slightly gutted but the only way to move is forward."

- If they find a good balance it does not really matter. Wild Cards are a nice tool to give players a chance but also to fill seats. Is that fair? That discussion will always be there. And discussion is also good for tennis 😁 I think it is good to have them.

- I heartily disagree with Stubbs here. I mean c'mon! The whole idea of giving out wildcards is to give new & up-coming players a chance at getting as much circuit match-practice under their belts as possible. And this is a HUGE must and opportunity for these new kids on the block. Why curtail opportunities for these newbies in favour of stalwart monopoly?? That just isn't fair. At least give these lesser known players a chance to become more familiar at playing in bigger tournaments & give them also a chance of getting the crowds behind these underdogs.
