Jessica Pegula shares her views on new players coming out in the light
The 28-year-old smartly responded when asked about the consistency of female players in the WTA Finals during a recent press conference. She said, “I think it just shows the depth. I know that there’s not a lot of people saying there’s not a lot of consistency or consistent winners, but at the same time I think it keeps it exciting, think there’s always new storylines. I think it just shows that no matter what every week someone can have a great result.”
She went on to say that it might be difficult for the top players to break through in every challenging match, which just demonstrates the depth and diversity of the WTA and how much the women tennis players want to give their all in the matches. She said, “You have to be very, more or less, pretty consistent throughout the year, which I think just shows how hard our sport is and how much depth there is.”

Additionally, she stated that tennis players don’t always have a good time on the court and that it may be difficult at times. She said, “I don’t know. To me, it seems harder nowadays. I just think the matches don’t come as easy. So I think all the new players, it’s just showing the depth that we have with all the girls. Anybody can win any week possible.”
