Tennis News: Exhausted Jessica Pegula Openly Debunks Journalist’s Question On Her Australian Open Chances – EssentiallySports

Jessica Pegula has had a roller-coaster ride in the 2023 season. The 29-year-old American tennis star reached the Grand Finale of the WTA Finals and also won a WTA 1000 event in Montreal. But her biggest regret throughout her career is not making it further than the Quarter Finals in the Grand Slam events ever in her career,

Can she turn the tables this time and move farther into the major events and win her first Grand Slam this year? Well, let’s find out what Jessica Pegula has to say on this.

Jessica Pegula doesn’t like to answer the ‘same question’ regarding the Australian Open

Jessica Pegula had a good start to her 2024 campaign after defeating compatriot Bernarda Pera by a 4-6,6-2,6-3 margin to book her place into the Quarterfinals of the Adelaide International. She needed only 2 hours and 12 minutes to seal the deal in this all-American clash. This tournament marks a good preparatory camp ahead of the first Grand Slam of the season.

But on her future said in a recent press release, ‘Don’t ask me the same question. Did you ask me last time what I had to do to make a semi? I was like, win my quarterfinal. But that was going to be my answer again.’ Then when she was asked about what she had to do to get to the SF, she said, ‘You know my answer.‘ Looks as if the Pegula is on a mission. Can she make a longer run this time?

Well, for that she needs to make a good start at Melbourne Park. And, talking about the start, the AO main draw is set to take place on Thursday at 1 pm local time. Will Jessica Pegula be present? A renowned journalist gives his take.

Gill Gross makes a concerning prediction for Pegula

Gill Gross, who is a broadcaster for Tennis Channel, US Open Radia, Cracked Rackets, and UC San Diego, recently predicted that the former world no.3 could experience a decline in her form, primarily due to her age. Pegula is currently 29 and has already won 4 singles and 7 doubles titles in her career. But she has been deprived of a Grand Slam title every time she has stepped in throughout her 15-year-long career.

Gross added that he isn’t sure whether Pegula will face that decline this year. But he won’t be surprised to see her end up at number 9 in the WTA rankings in 2024. Can Pegula prove her doubters wrong in Australia this time?
