Is she still ranked #1 in the US? I know she was near the end of last year.

Yes she is.

 

It would be so wonderful if she could win Wimbledon for her mother.

That’s too bad.  She’s come a long way the past few years but can’t seem to break through with a run in the big tournaments.

Kind of turning into a modern day Jimmy Arias.

I remember seeing him play. In the ‘80s we went to the US Open almost every year, usually the early rounds so we could wander around and catch various matches all day. Such a great event.

 

When I cleaned out my Mom’s desk after she passed, I found years worth of draw sheets that she had got at the event and used to track the rest of the tournament.

Her game isn't really suited to grass. The girl who beat her has an unbelievable grass court game.

I didn't know she was married. He's from Buffalo, she's from Buffalo, they got married in North Carolina.

At the Biltmore. That was Kim Pegula's last IG post in 2021.

Korean Open Win

[Ann]

This one is extra special. I am half Korean. I don’t speak and I am still learning about my culture (my mom was adopted and left on a doorstep of a Korean police station) but I have been overwhelmed by the support from Korean fans. My mom visited her orphanage here when I played this event 4 years ago. It was the first time she felt open about learning about her past. Her health struggles the past year made this tournament a goal to win. It has been such an honor to play in front of you. 감사합니다

It is cool!
