Interesting Fact- Jessica Pegula is richer than the worth of Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Maria Sharapova COMBINED.
- Jessica made it to the finals of the Madrid Open 2022 but was defeated by Tunisian tennis star Ons Jabeur.
- She won £2.9 million in prize money, but that’s nothing compared to what she stands to inherit.
- She really pondered retiring, plagued by repeated hip and knee injuries, until defying the odds with her runs Down Under and return on the WTA Tour.
- Pegula lost to eventual winner Ash Barty in Melbourne, then advanced to the Miami semifinals before reaching the Madrid Open final.
- And you wouldn’t bet against her adding to her 2019 Washington Open title win or surpassing her career-high world No. 13 ranking.
- Jessica’s main goal is to establish herself as someone other than Terry Pegula’s daughter.
