"I feel amazing" - Jessica Pegula on winning her maiden WTA 1000 title
At a press conference following her win at the Guadalajara Open last week, Jessica Pegula expressed her delight, especially considering her draw was the "toughest out of everybody." She went on to say that she was "super proud" of how she handled her nerves, especially in the final.
"I feel amazing. I mean, there's not really much else to say. I won the tournament. I'm so happy it was at a 1000 event. All the people I beat, my draw to get here in my opinion was honestly the toughest out of everybody. So I was a little annoyed when I saw the draw come out," Pegula said.
"But the way I've been able to manage it throughout the whole week, today handle my nerves and emotions, just super proud of myself," she added.
