Jessica Pegula shocks world No.1 Iga Świątek despite ‘Cotton Eye Joe’ song derailing her during crucial point
With Pegula 4-3 up in the second set tiebreak and having just wrongfooted Świątek with a lob, “Cotton Eye Joe” began playing on court, forcing the umpire to call a let while the song continued, and the crowd murmured in disbelief. “I just thought it was funny,” Pegula said afterwards, according to Reuters. “I’ve never had that happen, let alone with ‘Cotton-Eye Joe.’ I was like: ‘Is this really happening right now?’ Of all the songs.
” The point was replayed and that seemed to derail Pegula’s second set tiebreak, as Świątek won the next 12 points in a row, a run that included leveling the match at a set apiece. Świątek continued to ride this momentum, taking a 4-2 lead in the deciding third set but Pegula won the last four games, and 16 of the last 19 points of the match, to seal victory. “She really pushed me, so I needed to change something up,” Świątek said afterwards, according to the WTA’s website.
