Congrats to Jessica Pegula

[BisonMan]

For reaching the Quarterfinals of the US Open this week before losing a close match to World #1 Ida Swiatek. She is now the top ranked American in Women’s tennis at #8. She also has a very Buffalo way to hydrate during the post-match press conference!

Boy, she really looks like her father! The eyes and the smile.

[Buffalo ill]

This seems ironic. She is drinking Heineken, which smells like weed it's so skunky, in order to pee for a drug test.

I saw she was slated to play the world #1 and the kind of forgot about it. This thread title had me thinking she pulled off the upset.

Thanks 

 

there is a thread on OTW if you want to discuss this topic there 

[Aussie Joe]

I didn’t see anyone congratulating Nick Kyrigos for making the quarter finals..

[Marv's Neighbor]

Why would they care about a pee test when you lose?

Labatts Blue would have been better... I don't think I know of anyone back home who drinks Heineken.

That second set was epic. Lost it in tiebreakers to the #1 seed. But Jess really put all she had into it.

Isn't Heineken a sponsor or something?

Agree.  If I wanted skunky, I'd get Molson Golden.

Heineken has been a big sponsor of the ATP and WTA for years.  I remember getting free tix to sit in a box with an open bar to watch Sampras and Agassi play in the LA Open.  I was in undergrad at the time and me and my frat brother probably drank two dozen Heinekens between us.  At the end of the evening the barkeep did some shots with us and then told us to take home as many Heineken as we could grab.  Last thing I remember was jogging across the UCLA campus with 15 cans of Heineken cradled in my t-shirt.  😆

better in a can.  Bottles let in light and make it skunky.

Doping doesn't mean an automatic victory.

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

She played well and I was really cheering for her.

But I don't think she has the weapons to win a major.  She has a big forehand but her other strokes are just average.
