Jessica Pegula answers the most-awaited question 

The 29-year-old American tennis player is considered one of the richest tennis players as she is the daughter of Terry Pegula, a self-made businessman who owns NFL giants the Buffalo Bills. Even after being born to billionaire parents, she always knew that she wanted to make a name for herself as an individual and not just Terry’s daughter.

Recently, in an interview with Forbes, the American tennis player answered the people who doubted her tennis skills just because of the fact that she is rich. She said, “People say that, but I think everyone who knows kind of knows it’s not gonna happen unless someone’s really a hard worker & driven. I don’t worry too much about it. I think most people get that. Maybe some people who just don’t want to like me for whatever reason maybe will always say that.” 

She expressed her opinion quite clearly, saying that she doesn’t really want to elaborate on her work ethic and passion. She continued by emphasizing that her commitment and perseverance have led to everything she has accomplished. Pegula stated, “But I can’t really change their minds. I’ve worked really hard. I definitely wouldn’t have gotten here if it wasn’t for that.”
