Pegula: "Muchova made me look like a beginner".

Jessica Pegula was initially clearly dominated by Karolina Muchova in the US Open semi-finals, before managing to turn the tables and advance to the final. In her post-match interview, the American confirmed that she felt without a solution until the start of the 2nd set against the Czech.

Pegula:
"She made me look like a beginner (during the 1st set and the start of the 2nd). She played incredibly well. But there are little moments that reverse the momentum.

I was about to burst into tears because it was embarrassing. She was destroying me. But I was able to hang on to that game (the 3rd game of the 2nd set) to find a way, to find adrenaline, to find my legs.

And at the end of the second set, I started to play the way I wanted to play. But I don't know how I managed to turn things around."
