Jessica Pegula won a fantastic title in Guadalajara on Sunday after defeating Maria Sakkari. The American player was elated to conquer this WTA1000 event. There was an emotional moment during her speech when she dedicated her title to her mother Kim Pegula. Kim had some serious health issues during the summer. It is not clear what her condition is right now. We hope for the best.
This one is for you, mom 💜
