Jessica Pegula’s Comments on Iga Świątek’s Grass Game
Jessica Pegula beat Iga Świątek 6-4, 7-5 in the final of the Bad Homburg Open and praised the Pole’s grass-court skills, claiming that she was capable of performing well on the surface. Fast forward a few weeks and Świątek won Wimbledon after thrashing Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in the title clash.
Pegula noted the difference she saw in Świątek’s game at Wimbledon and said: “I thought she was serving a lot bigger. I didn’t really watch her much during Wimbledon. But she was serving really big in Bad Homburg and playing good tennis and beat good grass-court players.”
Talking about their encounter in Bad Homburg Pegula said:
“I thought our final was a really high level, it was super close. She is always kind of down on herself about grass, and I was, like, ‘Hey, you’re playing really good on grass. I’m not really sure why you think you’re bad on grass or what it is.’ So it was kind of funny that she ended up winning Wimbledon.” She added, “we had that moment and we played in the final, and then she wins Wimbledon, but that’s just tennis for you.”
“She’s a great player anyway, so she’s going to be good on any surface. But yeah, it is interesting for — tennis is weird. You have a lot of weird things that happen over the course of two weeks,” Pegula added.

Iga Świątek’s Dominant Wimbledon Run
Shortly after their match in Bad Homburg, Świątek surprised many by winning Wimbledon in dominant fashion. She had never gone beyond the quarter-finals at Wimbledon before, but this time her performance was remarkable.
