She also beat her doubles partner, Coco Gauff, in the quarterfinals. This might be thr biggest prep tourney for the US Open next month. Jessie is world number three and has earned almost four million in prize money in her career. She’s made the quarters in all four of the majors at least once in her career. I’ll be watching the US Open and hope she breaks through in a major. She’s also a lock for the US Olympic Team in Paris 2024. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 13 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAud Posted August 15, 2023 Report Share Posted August 15, 2023 Glad to see she's supporting herself financially. Seriously though, great achievements and more to come I'm sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimbledon will always be tough for Americans--you need to be on a Williams/Sampras level to win there because we don't have many grass courts here anymore. Same goes for clay at Roland Garros.

Alaska John Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Congrats to Jessica Pegula. If she's earned almost $4M in 5 years or so, she'll make as much as her parents have, in, oh, about 125 years. Keep swinging, Jess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
