Pegula crowns Gauff as the tour's best mover after Cincinnati final

After a one‑sided Cincinnati Open final, Jessica Pegula lauded Coco Gauff’s movement and said she’s the best mover on tour, highlighting Gauff’s defense from the corners. Pegula also noted Gauff’s combination of movement with serve and return, and while she felt she didn’t play badly, she couldn’t counter the inspired performance. Pegula heads to the US Open in form, having reached two finals this summer and recently beaten Swiatek in a three‑setter, signaling her continued competitiveness.
