Jessica Pegula, I wanted to congratulate you for the whole season and for your consistency throughout. Hopefully, we both progress and play many more finals together and your team as well. I want to thank my family and my team.

It’s not often when my dad is here, so thanks for coming and supporting me. The team that has been with me for the whole season, we’ve had many ups and downs, but this is for sure an up. And we’ll for sure have many more if we keep working like that.”
