In women’s tennis, the epitome of, if you don’t succeed the first time, try, try, try again, is America’s Jessica Pegula.
Let’s go courtside.
As reported by wtatennis.com, “Jessica Pegula moved through to the third WTA 1000 final of her career at the Omnium Banque Nationale in Montreal with a 6-2, 6-7(4), 6-4 upset of World No.1 Iga Swiatek in Saturday’s semifinals.”
Perfect. Just in time for the US Open, beginning Monday, August 28, 2023.
To arrive there, Jessica had to defeat her tough American doubles partner, Coco Gauff in three sets, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5.
It wasn’t easy.
It is a lesson that young female tennis players could certainly learn from.
Both Jessica and Coco are young American women with high hopes to win it all, entering the 2023 Open.
They can be an inspiration to American and other girls around the world.
Those two luminaries are the stars of today. Who will be the stars of tomorrow?
There is an organization you should read about ready to provide some strong motivation and inspiration.
