En fin de journée ce vendredi à l'Open d'Australie, le public a assisté à une surprise : l'élimination de Jessica Pegula, 6e à la WTA. L'Américaine a été domptée par la Serbe Olga Danilovic, 7-6(3), 6-1. Sur dur en Grand Chelem, la joueuse de 23 ans n'avait jamais dépassé le deuxième tour. Celle qui fêtera ses 24 ans jeudi prochain tient déjà son cadeau d'anniversaire. Elle rêve sans doute de mieux et aura un coup à jouer contre Paula Badosa.

00:00Yeah, I mean, what can I say? I think I played on such a high level. I knew who I play and
00:12I knew that as I said on the court that I have to have my AAA plus plus plus game for
00:17me to be even there and to compete with her and everything that I talked with my coaches
00:24I did throughout the whole match. I think I was stable. I believed in myself, which
00:31was the most important thing. And I'm really happy I'm through.
00:35All right. Are there any questions in English? Go ahead.
00:40Congratulations. What was the most pleasing aspect of your game?
00:45I think everything because I mean, I needed to be in this on that level that I was today
00:53to to be able to have chances to beat her. You know, the first set was so tight. Even
01:01the second set. I mean, on one all, I think I saved that game. That was so important.
01:05And I think I think I kept my cool and I believed in my shots. I went for them. And that was
01:15the that was the key.
01:16You said it was pretty slow out there. Did that suit you? Obviously, she plays fast,
01:22so I don't I wouldn't say it was it was slow, but for sure, a bit slower than the outside
01:30courts. You know, I'm not used to playing in these type of arenas. So for me, it was
01:35a bit slower. But yeah, I mean, I just I enjoyed I enjoyed out there.
01:41We saw on the coverage Novak cheering cheering you on. That must have been pretty cool.
01:46Yeah, I mean, of course, when I saw the when I saw the schedule and I was like, I'm after
01:52Novak on road labor. Not bad, you know. So, yeah, it was it was it was nice to see the
01:59video afterwards.
02:00And just one more, Paula Bedosa next. I mean, you must be really looking forward to that
02:05contest.
02:06I mean, of course, now at this at this point, I mean, in any Grand Slam and whatever round
02:12you play against top players and she's also a top player and she's been playing such great
02:16tennis and, you know, I'll just enjoy this moment tonight and then tomorrow we'll we'll
02:20think about that. But yeah, it's it's just another match, another fight. I give my all
02:27and that's it.
