Jessica Pegula, daughter of Bills owners, surging at US Open after tough year

Not only is Jessica Pegula the top-ranked American tennis player — and now in the Round of 16 at the US Open for the first time — but her parents own the Buffalo Bills.

As the Bills prepare to open the NFL season against the Rams on Thursday night, Pegula has climbed to new heights in her tennis career, defeating Chinese qualifier Yuan Yue 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-0 on Saturday at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

That sets up a quarterfinal match against Petra Kvitova, who beat Pegula in the third round of the 2020 US Open.
