Jessica Pegula highlighted she does not really care about “the richest tennis player” label but added it would be nice if people weren’t labeling her that way. Pegula, ranked at No 4 in the world, has been the top-ranked American female tennis player for quite some time but some still love to talk more about the American’s background.
Pegula’s father, Terry, is an American billionaire businessman and the Pegula family owns NFL’s Buffalo Bills and NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. “Yeah, I mean, people say that. I personally don’t have that money. It’s probably my dad or my parents.
I don’t know why that kind of stuck. I mean, I understand, though. My family obviously is pretty well-known back in America. Yeah, I mean, it is what it is. I mean, it doesn’t really bother me. It would be nice if people didn’t say that.
But do I really care? I mean, not really. It is what is. But, yeah, I mean, I don’t really think it matters how much money you have. Yeah, it would be great to win Wimbledon ’cause then I would also have a lot of money from winning Wimbledon (smiling).
I think I would trade, yes. I think that would be, yeah, probably better,” Pegula said.
