Fellow American player Coco Gauff reminded Pegula of the fun they had during her birthday celebration on Twitter.

Jessica Pegula faced off against Barbora Krejčíková in the semi-final bout of the Dubai Tennis Championships and lost in a three-setter match. Pegula lost on her birthday after receiving a walkover in the quarterfinal.

She captioned the tweet: “Everyone: “What is it like playing on tour? It must be so amazing!” Me: gets bagled on your birthday, sitting eating Doritos at midnight, waiting to get on a 16 hr flight home.🤣“

Her fellow American player Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff added to the humor of the situation. In response to Pegula’s tweet, Gauff reminded her doubles’ partner of their terrible singing during her birthday celebration. But the cake being good was a consolation, Gauff added.
