Pegula: "I felt awful at the start of the tournament, but I did an escape room, had two drinks, and everything improved"

Jessica Pegula secured her spot in the quarterfinals of the US Open 2025 and surprised everyone at the press conference by revealing how impactful it is for her to have made it to this round, especially after having bad feelings before the tournament. "I felt terrible before the tournament. I trained on Wednesday with Sabalenka, and it was humiliating, she dominated me, I played terribly. Then I stopped another practice because I couldn't continue like that. I went to do an escape room with friends and had two drinks. Since that moment, everything has been better," said the American.
