Jessica Pegula On-Court Interview | 2024 US Open Round 2

Jesse nicely done down a break early in the first set and the second set really changed the momentum convincingly in the second set in particular what do you think got you over the finish line today uh I think I maybe started serving a little bit better I thought I served pretty well in the moments that I had to um you know I knew I was right there I knew I had chances to break but I mean she's really tough she's a good returner and um when she's hitting her shots and getting really good St that makes it really hard we know you love the quick conditions it is defin itely cooler than it's been though today which slows things down a little bit what does that mean in terms of adjustments for your game um it means I have to keep moving in take a couple extra steps and it's hard against her because she gets really good depth on her shots so um I had to kind of defend when I could and then try and move in as soon as I got the chance but I think when the conditions are a little slower um I think you just have to be smart on your on your serve and um keep trying to you know move forward interesting stat I read in the WTA notes today you are now 11 and O against fellow Americans in 2024 is that coincidence is that because you know their games so well can you explain this I don't know I knew that my record was really good so today I really wanted to to get one more I'm glad that you brought that up no I mean I don't know I just get you stuff to play Americans I guess well it's working out for you and and speaking of being American as an announcer I love having you on my court because I get to say from Buffalo New York York and that is the reaction every single time I know we're also in Jets territory but do you get a lot of go bills oh yeah I get more Bills fans here I feel like there's more here than Jets fans I don't know that might get mixed reviews oh I think I I heard a couple Jets fans there um no yeah it's really fun getting the support I mean um I know we're we're a New York State's team you know everyone when I say I'm from New York um people are like oh New York City I'm like no no no I'm from Buffalo it's a much different way further away but thanks everyone for coming out and supporting especially those Bills fans hiding out Jesse vula we will see you in round three well done thank you
