Jessica Pegula has shared her thoughts after losing the US Open final. Speaking in her press conference, she said: “Yeah, super-tough match today. Obviously I would love to be in a third set right now, but I guess relatively speaking, happy that I was able to at least get my chances to win a set, considering I was down in the first and in the second.

“So was able to find some good tennis. Just wasn’t quite able to sustain it. Yeah, congrats to her. I think she played some big tennis in some big moments.”

Asked if she’d had chance to take in her achievement, she replied: “Probably not, because I’m just annoyed I lost right now. Everyone is like, Congrats, amazing tournament. I’m like, Eh, whatever. (Laughter.)

“I think maybe once I decompress a little bit, I’m sure I will be a little bit more appreciative and see all of that. At some point. I should probably do that at some point.

“Yeah, it’s been kind of a crazy couple of days, so hopefully I’ll get some time after this to kind of just relax and just, you know, look back at what I’ve been able to do the last month.”
