"What kind of clickbait trash is this?": Jessica Pegula fumes at journalists using her wealth to disparage Grand Slam defeats
WTASaturday, 13 January 2024 at 01:20
America’s tennis star Jessica Pegula was not left impressed
after journalists used her wealth to disparage Grand Slam defeats.
The 29-year-old has had some amazing success on the court in
the recent past but has produced similar kinds of performances while playing in
major competitions where she has never managed to play in the semifinal or
beyond.
Pegula has suffered six defeats in the quarterfinals of the
Grand Slam, a record that she is not pleased about. Talking about it,
the current world number five was recently quoted in a report where she
lambasted journalists for making fun of her defeats in the last eight.
"Wimbledon, yeah, that loss was really tough,” she
said. “I was so close. I just blew a 4-1 lead. So I think that loss definitely
knocked me kind of down quite a bit.The journalists that write about me have no
freaking clue. I can't buy my way into a semifinal. I was just like, 'What kind
of clickbait trash is this?.”
Last season, Pegula played in the quarterfinal of two out of
four Grand Slams but faltered on each occasion. At the Australian Open, she lost
to Victoria Azarenka with a score of 6-4, 6-1.
At Wimbledon, the Buffalo-born
came second-best to the Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova with a score of 6-4,
2-6, 6-4.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
