00:00Tennis fans, just forget the scoreboard for a second.
00:03Jessica Pagula walked into her press conference after a U.S. Open semifinal loss carrying a cup.
00:09And the internet did what the internet does, absolutely lost its mind.
00:16So here's the tape.
00:17Pagula fell 7-5, 6-2 to Arena Sabalenka in the semis,
00:23which is now what the third straight year Sabalenka's shown her the door in New York.
00:28But that's another story.
00:30Tough loss? Yes.
00:31But reporters peeped the cup in her hand and went full detective mode.
00:36Was it a Heineken like back in 2022? No.
00:40Was it the tequila she swiped off Sabalenka at Miami last year?
00:45No.
00:46She held the cup up and with the straight face dropped the line of the tournament.
00:51I'm always at a U.S. Open press conference trying to pee for doping.
00:56But it's just espresso.
00:58Decaf espresso.
01:00But wait, there's more to it.
01:02When somebody actually asked if it was tequila, her response?
01:06No, I wish.
01:08Nobody offered to bring any.
01:10So she's an American tennis star and daughter of Bill's owners, Terry and Kim Pagula.
01:16But she's one of us.
01:18I mean, come on.
01:19We all need to sip a little something after a long day.
01:22And it's been a long week this week.
01:23Get this woman a drink and adult beverage sponsor now.
