"Courtesy of walking in the rain in NYC" - Jessica Pegula stuns in denim look in New York photoshoot

Jessica Pegula recently showed off her fashion sense in a stunning photoshoot in New York City. The 29-year-old posted several black and white pictures on her Instagram account on Wednesday, September 20, wearing a full denim outfit.

"Game.Set.NYC with 📸@radkaleitmeritz and basically her just telling me I look too serious 😂 Thanks for the invite as always @matteksands 💞. Look is courtesy of walking in the rain in NYC and full denim @madewell 🤷🏻‍♀️," Pegula captioned the post on Instagram.

Pegula reached the fourth round of the US Open in singles, where she lost to her compatriot Madison Keys in straight sets.

The American also had a successful run in the doubles and mixed doubles events at Flushing Meadows, partnering with Coco Gauff and Austin Krajicek respectively. She and Gauff reached the quarter-finals of the women’s doubles, where they lost to eighth-seeded pair Su-Wei Hsieh and Xinyu Wang in three sets.

Pegula and Krajicek made it to the final of the mixed doubles, where they lost to Anna Danilina and Harri Heliovaara in straight sets.

The American recently admitted that playing in the doubles events has helped her improve her game. Pegula said that she was not planning to stop playing in other categories besides singles after losing in the US Open.

"I mean, I don't know. Everyone asks me this question. It's like, yeah, I want to do well in both. Yeah, sometimes it would be great to conserve energy based on the schedule. But the scheduling has been okay this week, so I felt okay," Pegula said in a press conference.

"I guess some people maybe see the other way, but I see a lot of benefits, as well. I think it's made me a lot better player. I think it just depends on my energy levels," she added.
