Can you win a match normal and not be theatrical I always give him c**p - Jessica Pegula takes sarcastic dig at Frances Tiafoe for his on-court behavior

By DEVANG CHAUHAN Modified 08 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Jessica Pegula on Frances Tiafoe in her press conference It was a mixed day for the Americans in the US Open quarterfinals on Wednesday, as Frances Tiafoe advanced to the semifinals while Jessica Pegula succumbed to top seed Iga Swiatek. In her post-match press conference, Pegula spoke about Tiafoe and stated that she was proud of his achievements. She also mentioned that she has always given him a hard time for his on-court theatrics and joked that she has asked him to play a "normal match" for once. "I'm always kind of got on him. Can you win a match, like, normal and not be like this whole theatrical event? I always give him c**p. It's amazing to see how he has played so much more focused even though he had a couple of tough matches in Montreal and Cincinnati and all this stuff. I was like, You're playing so much better. It's coming. It's just coming for that one match," Jessica Pegula said. The eighth seed mentioned that she finds the young American fun and charismatic on the court. "It's really nice to see. He's so much fun to watch, so charismatic. Nothing but good things to say about him. I'm really proud of him for really focusing on these last couple weeks because he can be all over the place. The way he's taking care of business has been really, really impressive. Yeah, I know he's super hyped up and ecstatic, but such a good story on him. I just wish I could join him or Coco could join him or something like that," she added.
