Jessica Pegula would give up her family fortune to win Wimbledon 2023

WTA No. 4 Terry Pegula’s father is worth $6.7 billion, but Jessica says she doesn’t like being called the “richest tennis player in the world” and would rather be called “Wimbledon champion.”

“The world says about me that I have money, but it is not mine, it is my father’s or my parents’. My family is famous in the USA.

It doesn’t bother me, but it would be nice if people would stop saying that (not because she’s the richest player). What if I don’t care? Not really, not really. I just don’t think it matters that much how much money you have.

It would be great to win Wimbledon because I would make even more money. I think I would give my fortune for a Wimbledon title. I think it will be better that way” – Jessica Pegulareports The Sun.

• During her career, Jessica earned more than 9 million dollars in tennis prize money.

• Pegula will play in the quarters of Wimbledon with Marketa Vondrousova (42 WTA, Roland Garros-2019 finalist).
