Jessica Pegula faced Aryna Sabalenka in the U.S. Open final but lost with a score of 7-5, 7-5. Despite the defeat, Pegula's husband, Taylor Gahagan, had a memorable experience meeting NBA star Stephen Curry, who attended the match with his wife, Ayesha. Pegula shared that Gahagan is such a fan of Curry that he has named his iPhone 'Steph Curry,' a fact he humorously revealed to Curry during their interaction. Pegula expressed her delight in the meeting and noted that Curry appreciated the anecdote. This light-hearted moment helped ease any disappointment for Pegula after her first Grand Slam final appearance. The event was attended by various celebrities, including Anna Wintour and Courteney Cox, who cheered on Pegula.
