Brithday parties are a big deal for many. Sports professionals and other famous personalities love throwing huge parties. However, active players rarely get such opportunities due to traveling worldwide for competitions. Jessica Pegula was caught in this unfortunate situation after her loss in the Dubai Tennis Championships. Fellow American player Coco Gauff reminded Pegula of the fun they had during her birthday celebration on Twitter.

Jessica Pegula faced off against Barbora Krejčíková in the semi-final bout of the Dubai Tennis Championships and lost in a three-setter match. Pegula lost on her birthday after receiving a walkover in the quarterfinal.  

Coco Gauff reminds Pegula of fun times

Pegula posted a picture on Twitter of her somber situation. She was holding a bag of Doritos chips while looking tired. The world No 3 tennis star said she was going through the aforementioned act while she was waiting for her flight.

She captioned the tweet: “Everyone: “What is it like playing on tour? It must be so amazing!” Me: gets bagled on your birthday, sitting eating Doritos at midnight, waiting to get on a 16 hr flight home.🤣“
