Q. Now that you have a matching set of trophies, have you thought about how you’re going to display them at home?
JESSICA PEGULA: My one from last year is actually slightly broken. I don’t think I ever told Bob [Moran], but it somehow fell off of a table into a suitcase. Thank god for the suitcase, because if it wasn’t there, it would have been shattered. It actually just broke the top, so I’m like, Oh, at least I have another one so I can put it up in place of the old one. It doesn’t look horrible, though, because it’s just the top.
It was literally one of those things that happened in slow motion; I was like, Ah, Oh my God! I was like, I don’t know how that didn’t shatter everywhere. So, yeah, story time. It’ll be next to the other one, though.
Pegula joked about chasing Chris Evert’s four Charleston titles, but the world No. 5 now has extra incentive to go for a hat trick on Daniel Island—for symmetry’s sake!
