Serena Williams may be out, but the richest star in sport has reached the women's quarter-finals of the US Open.
American star Jessica Pegula, 28, toppled two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova to book her place in the last eight of a Slam for the third time this year. She'll now face world No 1 Iga Swiatek in a mouth-watering tie late on Wednesday night.
Not that the world No 8 will be overly concerned about the financial benefits of her best ever run at Flushing Meadows. In fact, the billionaire is simply relieved to be talked about for her tennis: "I have never wanted people to think I was given things," she told reporters. "I think I have definitely earned my stripes in the tennis world. There are people on the outside who maybe don't understand, who make assumptions."
