And I don't care about the other garbage they do, shops they open, businesses they buy. The hero worship is astounding. This post should be poster child for mediocrity.

Yet you posted anyway. Interesting. Kind of like looking at the questions/answers on an Amazon listing . Someone asks a question and then another person responds "I have no idea. I didn't buy this product." Did that person think all the questions were directed specifically to them? Jessica is ranked #86 according to WTA. Good for her! I had no idea she was even that competitive. Nothing to do with "hero worship"--which was really an idiotic thing to say in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why post in a thread you think is not worth anything? It shows something about you. I'm not sure what that is, but I suspect it is nothing good. Either celebrate this young woman, or take your shot. Your post was utterly worthless. You realize you can simply ignore a thread, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Attached is a Washington Post article on Jessica Pegula written by Ava Wallace. Whether a person comes from a rich background or a poor background the effort and dedication to get to this tennis level is the same. Because she has been so dedicated to her sport she is getting results and moving up the ranks. She should be admired for what she has accomplished in this highly competitive sport. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/tennis/us-open-jessica-pegula/2020/09/02/919d56c6-ed57-11ea-b4bc-3a2098fc73d4_story.html 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, serving at 3-2 in the first set of the third round of a Major means you are LEGIT. Congrats! UPDATE: She won the first 6-2 and is up 5-1 in the second. I would never jinx things by saying it looks good for the FOURTH round of a major. OK, on to the FOURTH ROUND! The round of 16 appearance is reportedly going to move her up to #41 in the world. If you don’t follow tennis much, that is pretty amazing! Very impressive performance! Congrats to ALL the Pegulas! .
