MELBOURNE : A career breakthrough year has all eyes on American Jessica Pegula, who could shake Polish world number one Iga Swiatek's stranglehold on the women's field when the Australian Open main draw begins next week.
"I feel like I have different goals this year. I feel like I kind of am resetting the year... It is a new year and you never know what's going to happen and you never know how you're going to feel." Pegula raced to a stunning 5-0 lead in the first set and kept the momentum up with a series of brilliant returns in the second, leaving the usually poised Swiatek without any answers.
He told reporters that he believes Pegula could possibly even win in Melbourne - if Australia's iconic blue hard courts are playing to her favour."Australian Open will be pretty quick, but it's usually not that quick... If the court is a little bit slower, that makes it a little bit harder for her to play that type of penetrating game that she can play so well."
