Jessica Pegula has cruised through the U.S. Open, steamrolled into her seventh Grand Slam quarterfinal. Now, she’ll look to finally reach a semifinal.
The sixth-seeded American — born in Buffalo to eventual Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula — routed Diana Shnaider, 6-4, 6-2, in the fourth round Monday at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Father Terry made billions in oil and gas, selling most of his hydrofracking business in 2010 for $4.7 billion and buying the Bills and Sabres. “I did some media thing the other day too. They were like ‘What’s the most annoying thing?’ It’s that people think I have a butler, that I get chauffeured around, I have a private limo, that I fly private everywhere,” Pegula said. “I’m definitely not like that. People can think what they want. It’s kind of funny.
A win Wednesday would make Pegula the oldest American woman to earn a Grand Slam singles semifinal debut.
