Jessica Pegula was asked at the WTA 1000 Wuhan 2025 press conference about the extreme heat that has been affecting both circuits these weeks and causing some tournaments to decide to cover the stadium in order to lower the temperature. "I don't think it's the right or fair thing to do because if we are competing in an outdoor tournament, we should be prepared for the heat; it's part of tennis. If certain levels are exceeded that could be dangerous for our integrity, the audience, and the ball girls, it's fine to stop, but many times the biggest issue is the humidity," stated the American on Tennis365.
