Jessica Pegula after losing to Alex Eala in the Washington final

“I wanna congratulate Alex on an amazing week and tournament. I don’t know how much more I can say. But you’re an amazing player. Just to see how far you’ve come over the last couple years when we first played, to see the amazing fans that follow you every place you go, it’s not fun to play against 😂 but I really appreciate the really fun atmosphere. I think it’s amazing. Congrats. All the best to you and your team and your coach.” ❤️
