Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter from Miami, and I’m here to give you the scoop on the latest tennis drama. If you haven’t been following the US Open, let me tell you—it’s been one wild ride.
Recently, former Wimbledon finalist Genie Bouchard took some shots at US Open finalist Jessica Pegula. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “What’s the big deal?” Well, let me break it down for you.
Pegula had an incredible run at the US Open. She knocked off world No. 1 Iga Swiatek and Roland Garros runner-up Karolina Muchova en route to her maiden major final in New York. That’s no small feat But despite her impressive performance, Pegula couldn’t quite get over the hump, losing to Aryna Sabalenka in the final.
Bouchard, who’s known for speaking her mind, didn’t hesitate to share her thoughts on social media. When a fan questioned why Pegula gets “hated” on social media, Bouchard fired back with a sharp comment: “Money can’t buy a US Open final lol.” Ouch!
Bouchard’s jab at Pegula might have been a bit too real for some folks, but it’s clear that she’s still got some fire in her. After all, she was a Wimbledon finalist back in 2014. That’s some serious tennis cred!
