I don’t know how I didn’t break back in the third. I thought I played some really good points to win the first set. She upped her level, started serving a lot better in the second. Then I felt like it was really even in the third, there wasn’t much difference," Jessica Pegula said.She continued:"We were both serving pretty well. She came up with some ridiculous shots, especially on break points. I didn’t feel like I did much wrong. The level was really high, and we were pushing each other every single game."The Belarusian star is the winner of 20 WTA Tour-level singles titles and six doubles titles.
