Jessica Pegula Press Conference | 2024 US Open Semifinal

The 2024 US Open main draw runs from August 26 - September 8 in New York City at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. The tournament takes place for the 144th time and is the fourth and final Grand Slam of the year. Last year, Serbia's Novak Djokovic and United States' Coco Gauff claimed the men's and women's singles titles. It was Djokovic’s 24th Grand Slam title and Gauff’s first Grand Slam title. This year, at the US Open, we’re set for another spectacular tournament as the world’s best tennis players head to New York. Look out for highlights, extended highlights, full matches, press conferences, on-court interviews, hot shots, compilations and more!

She even speak well. What impressed me the most was that she stayed humble, and that shows what a great of a person she is.

I love this girl!!! She is super nice and very well spoken !!! I don’t understand why people hate on her just because her dad is rich… I actually have a ton of respect for her because she didn’t rest in what he has…she has worked hard to get it for herself ..congratulations American girl!!! Let’s Go win a slam!!!

[MoorishBrooklyn]

What a wonderful display of having patience with your career, believing in yourself, and have unwavering determination. Life lessons.

Thank you Jess for keeping your press conference responses authentic and real.

I have to give her a lot of respect for working so hard in tennis even though her family is super rich! She could very well have just enjoyed her life as a rich woman but she chose to work hard to grind out wins in a sport she loves!

[tennisphilosophy]

A lot of wisdom on the right mindset to improve/implement and handling of tough situations (i.e. schedules). No shame of my part to say at the age of 58, I can learn a lot from someone like she or anyone, to be better.

Looks like her coaching change and injury earlier in the season really really worked in her favor. Would be nice to see her grab the title, she seems very relaxed and not rattled by the occasion. Think we'll see some high level tennis in the final!

[leenjiru]

Its a win win for me whoever wins.. love them both!😊

Congrats Pegula. Hope you can achieve your dream and hold the trophy on Saturday. Your opponent Sabalenka is playing her best tennis. It will be a super tough game ahead.

[sueshorthouse]

Buffalo proud...love her accent, reminds me of home

[pureb]

Her resilience is very admirable. Her physical fitness improvements have definitely helped her mental toughness.

[janetdimacali]

[SteveJones-ulex]

Phenomenal mental toughness and ball striking from JP - she will need her 'A' game Saturday... fingers crossed. "_)

[Stampingerms]

Glad you made it!! Believe in yourself ❤ Pegula!!

[kalemacoleman]

Love the fact that she is humble and she can be a role modle for many kids out there whose parents are billioniers . That they can go out there and find there own path in life

[soysaucehairdye]

Kind of an insane run to make it to the finals of Toronto, Cincinatti, and New York in the same year while also playing at the Olympics.
