2. I think Pegula has become a tennis star on her own merits.

I know she's a rich girl who has led a privileged life, and to tell the truth, I used to kinda resent her a little because of that, but I don't any more. Wealth and privilege don't necessarily preclude success in life on one's own merits. I watched the Gauff-Navarro match the other day but didn't realize she was a rich girl too. I'm not going to hold that against either Pegula or Navarro. I wish them both well. I am glad that the U.S. Open women's champion this year is going to be a first-time winner of that tournament. I always like when that happens. Spread the wealth around. Sabalenka, Muchova, Navarro or Pegula. Sabalenka is a two-time Grand Slam champion, but she has never won this particular Grand Slam.
