Jessica Pegula, the heiress to a £5billion fortune has crashed out of Wimbledon at the quarter-final stage.
Pegula was beaten in three sets by Marketa Vondrousova on Tuesday after reaching the last-eight having been ranked as the No.4 seed going into the tournament at SW19. She lost the first set 6-4 but rallied back in the second to win 6-2 and set up a third-set decider. However, that would go the way of Vondrousova, with Pegula losing 6-4 to exit the tournament.
The 29-year-old is yet to win her first grand slam title and her wait goes on after the loss to Vondrousova. Pegula has a best finish of the quarter-final in all four grand slams, which have come since 2021.
