Jessica Pegula, daughter of Terry Pegula (an American billionaire), believed that she drank beer to be able to urinate for an anti-doping test, and also because it helps her overcome failure.

“I am preparing for anti-doping control. Also, it helps me get through failure, and that’s why I drink.

It’s crazy, it’s really crazy. I really wanted to win a Grand Slam at home, but it seems like every time I reach the quarter-finals with Barty or Svyanek, players who don’t really lose.” – Jessica Pegula.

Jessica is the daughter of Terry Pegula, whose net worth is estimated at $6.7 billion. He owns the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres.
