Jessica Pegula and Aryna Sabalenka have faced each other four times this year. Unfortunately for the American, she has lost three times against the Belarusian.

On the podcast The Player’s Box, she reflected on their encounters, without regret: "Honestly, many of my recent matches against Aryna have been excellent; the level is really very high.

And even if we lose, we don't feel bad afterwards because we tell ourselves: 'Wow, that was a very high-level match, I had my chances,' but at the same time, we know we gave it our all.

Honestly, from memory, most of my matches against Aryna in the last two years... I always leave the court with that feeling afterwards."
