Jessica Pegula is the daughter of a billionaire, and while it's not something many know outside of the United States it's still used to produce some stories that she doesn't agree with.
Jessica Pegula is a tremendous tennis player as the American proved herself with very consistent performances last year. She's been the second-best player behind Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur for much of last year and earned a place at the Wta Finals in Forth Worth.
She has been a seasoned professional for many years now, slowly improving from a solid to a really strong player. She plays both singles and doubles on a very high level, a rarity in modern tennis, and her recent Wimbledon run proved that she's basically on a level where she contends for Grand Slam trophies regularly.

Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg, Warner Bros. Discovery honcho David Zaslav, Paramount Global chair Shari Redstone, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Apple head Tim Cook, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates are heading to Idaho in July to attend the annual “summer camp for moguls,” known more formally as Sun Valley. And Bob Iger, back on the throne at the Walt Disney Company, will also be touching down in the resort town after a brief, unhappy (for shareholders) interregnum. They’ll be mixing and mingling with other media barons, Silicon Valley heavyweights and political players at the media finance retreat hosted by Allen & Co.
Among those getting tapped to dust off their Brooks Brothers casual wear are two former treasury secretaries,...

When reflecting on her dual Asian-American heritage, Jessica Pegula believes that representation for aspirant players is crucial.
Pegula grew up with an American father, Terry Pegula, and a Korean mother, Kim Pegula, who are both successful sports business figures in the US.
