Around the match

  • I think that my serve can be uncomfortable. I think I try to play around a lot with variety. Of course, it would be great if I had a serve that went 200 kilometers per hour. I'd love that also, but it's a process.

  • That week, I think I've said before, was just kind of the monkey off my back. I remember playing a great final. I played really, really well and was able to handle my nerves and all these other emotions I had going in.

    Pegula J.WTA Tennis
  • Going into this tournament, I looked at the list, and it was jam-packed. It was big player after big player after big player. So to be in the final really means a lot to me.

  • Alex, I'm a big fan of hers. She's the future of the tour and she's already here.
