Pegula points out the keys to her consistency on the circuit
The American explains the factors that play a fundamental role in the strength of her game in recent seasons.
Jessica Pegula has become one of the most solid figures on the women's circuit. Her potential defense of the WTA Toronto 2024 title proves it, although she has not yet been able to surpass the quarterfinal barrier in Grand Slam events. The world number 6 explains in a press conference what the keys to her consistency are, her strategy against Amanda Anisimova in the final of the Canadian tournament, and what it means to defend the title.
"Today I played better than in the last few matches. The conditions were still very tough, and playing against a left-hander is very complicated, especially against someone I have never trained or played with, so I had no idea what to expect. I played very well. I felt like I had adjusted my game plan because what I had initially planned was not going to work. I had to adapt a bit, and I am proud to have been able to resolve it," Jessica explained to the media.
About Amanda Anisimova, her opponent in the Toronto final
"Amanda has always had a lot of talent; she is a top player when healthy and playing. She took a little break, which is great, it's good to see her back playing her best tennis. Everyone knows she is a threat every time she steps onto the court. Tomorrow is going to be a battle; I will have to give my maximum effort to make her play extra balls, try to be aggressive when I can, I will have to be smart."
The possibility of defending the title
"I have always had good results here, but coming back and reaching another final is incredible. Having the opportunity to defend my title is something that does not always happen, so I am happy to be in a good position to do it tomorrow. It's great to see my name alongside many other great names in history who have been able to defend their title, it's very special."
Her consistency
"I always approach every match as if it's going to be really tough. I like to stay up to date and look closely at the results, matchups, and other aspects. I don't take any match lightly. The depth of the circuit is really good, no matter how well you're playing or what the ranking is, anyone can beat you at any time. I always have the mindset of not being the favorite, no matter who I play against. That helps me not be caught off guard in some matches. I think that's what helps me and why I can win many matches."
