Jessica Pegula vs Naomi Osaka • Rome 2021

Congratulations Osaka for losing

I'm surprised at how little people went for Pegula, she's been playin reall well this season

Impressive how this player who has been in the top 10 for more than 4 years cannot play decent on clay. Not a single great performance on clay corut. She is just embarrassing. Roland Garros for Osaka will be the same thing.

Love both, hoping Jess can win! 🇺🇸
Osaka in 3 though
6-2, 5-7, 7-6

Agree @Mocke. I’m surprised that a lot of people went Osaka, this was one to avoid.

Osaka needs Sascha back becuz the technical side of her tennis has decreased. Her first serve percentage is lower, her clay results are worse, 3even her GS victories are getting sloppier. Her mentality is better, she doesnt give up, but yeah. also she stopped using drop shots and silences and her fineness doesnt seem to be where it was

Congrats Jess!

On clay, there's no contest.
On hard court, it's a different story.

When Naomi, if Naomi learns to play on clay, she will be dangerous, until then, these types of results will keep happening.

I'm also shocked a lot more ppl didn't go Jessica.

Congrats & well played Jessica 🇺🇸👏👏👌

Lmao this was so much fun to watch

Not an easy match for Naomi.

Jessica 🇺🇸, hopefully for the win in a close match, possibly take 3 sets.

Jess!

Jessica in 2.

Jess!

...it's about time Osaka to do something about clay...

I hope Jess can win this... whoever wins it, it’ll be in 3 sets for sure

...well she is the favourite. ..just want Osaka to make an effort

Naomi had a chanxe to win first set but wasnt able to convert 2 points 5-5

She seems engaged so thats good

...she need more matches on clay ....so far so good

Jess should close this quickly now. Naomi needed that first set.

True Pegula much better on clay

At least she plays good on fast courts😆🥱

..not bad...

Well done Jess.

Wow, kudos
