Jessica Pegula’s journey to her first grand slam semi-final has been fraught with disappointment, having lost in the quarter-finals multiple times to top-seeded opponents.
In her moment of victory, Pegula acknowledged her past struggles: 'I’ve [lost] so many freaking times, I just kept losing,' emphasizing the challenge of overcoming elite competition.
Reaching the semi-finals is a significant milestone for Pegula, who expressed gratitude: 'Thank god I was able to do it and finally, finally I can say I am a semi-finalist.'
The achievement of multiple US players reaching the semi-finals marks a notable moment in tennis, the first since 2003, showing a resurgence in American talent.
