Jessica Pegula mentioned Frances Tiafoe in her post-game press conference and expressed her admiration for his accomplishments.

She also joked that she had urged him to play a "regular match" for once because she always teased him for his on-court antics.

"I'm always kind of got on him. Can you win a match, like, normal and not be like this whole theatrical event? I always give him c**p." said a laughing Pegula as she struck a more serious tone praising him for what he has been able to do:

"It's amazing to see how he has played so much more focused even though he had a couple of tough matches in Montreal and Cincinnati and all this stuff. I was like, You're playing so much better. It's coming. It's just coming for that one match."

Pegula further stated that she's a fan of Tiafoe because he is so charismatic on the court as well as very fun to watch:

"It's really nice to see. He's so much fun to watch, so charismatic. Nothing but good things to say about him. I'm really proud of him for really focusing on these last couple weeks because he can be all over the place. The way he's taking care of business has been really, really impressive. Yeah, I know he's super hyped up and ecstatic, but such a good story on him. I just wish I could join him or Coco could join him or something like that."
