Anyone her age, with the inability to climb to any substantial position in the rankings, would have retired into a real job by now. In other words, who cares. I don't. And I don't care about the other garbage they do, shops they open, businesses they buy. The hero worship is astounding. This post should be poster child for mediocrity. Quote

F.W. Cyclone Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 I don't care because I'm not a tennis fan so it doesn't matter who's playing. Quote

Interesting. Kind of like looking at the questions/answers on an Amazon listing . Someone asks a question and then another person responds "I have no idea. I didn't buy this product." Did that person think all the questions were directed specifically to them? Jessica is ranked #86 according to WTA. Good for her! I had no idea she was even that competitive. Nothing to do with "hero worship"--which was really an idiotic thing to say in the first place. 1 Quote

It was a poster named zonabb that said the " hero worship" thing on 8/26/2020 at 12 : 04 PM. I think you might have me confused with that person because I never said anything about hero worship.

Why post in a thread you think is not worth anything? It shows something about you. I'm not sure what that is, but I suspect it is nothing good. Either celebrate this young woman, or take your shot. Your post was utterly worthless. You realize you can simply ignore a thread, right? 2 Quote

So far this year she has won $165k, did you make that when you were 26? Yeah she is doing it as a hobby, LOL. Quote
JohnC Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Attached is a Washington Post article on Jessica Pegula written by Ava Wallace. Whether a person comes from a rich background or a poor background the effort and dedication to get to this tennis level is the same. Because she has been so dedicated to her sport she is getting results and moving up the ranks. She should be admired for what she has accomplished in this highly competitive sport. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/tennis/us-open-jessica-pegula/2020/09/02/919d56c6-ed57-11ea-b4bc-3a2098fc73d4_story.html 2 1 Quote
