  • Jessica Pegula has backed Novak Djokovic's call for more entertainment for fans, saying tennis should become less "stuffy" and "uppity." Djokovic said after his third-round win at the Australian Open that tennis needs to be "more fun".

The article discusses Jessica Pegula's support for Novak Djokovic's idea to make tennis more entertaining. Djokovic had previously suggested that tennis could benefit from adopting some of the entertainment aspects seen in other sports, like player introductions with music and lights, to enhance the fan experience. Pegula, who has experienced similar entertainment elements in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL), agrees that such changes could help attract a broader audience to tennis. She believes that while tennis has its traditions, incorporating more showmanship could make the sport more appealing without compromising its competitive integrity. This comes at a time when tennis is looking for ways to evolve and remain relevant in the modern sports entertainment landscape.
