Jessica Pegula is one of the tennis players who showed the most concern about the social implications of playing in Saudi Arabia, a country where women do not live with full freedom and rights. However, she seems to be now convinced of the positive aspect of competing in the WTA Finals 2024 in this country. "We have talked a lot about this with the WTA and everything is going well. We were able to hold several events with young girls from the country, and several women approached me to thank us for playing here. Tennis is growing a lot; I understand that there are 60,000 girls playing tennis throughout the country. It was the right decision to come here because I feel that we can change the lives of many young girls," she concluded.
