She has 11 singles titles in her career and has been a major tournament semifinalist four times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Now 32, Pegula is still clearly in the prime of her tennis career, but she was recently asked about her post-playing career in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/09\/30\/tennis-star-jessica-pegula-on-buffalo-bills-sabres-family-ownership.html?taid=6abcfc78aae84d0001b873cc&amp;utm_campaign=trueanthem&amp;utm_content=main&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent CNBC interview<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI can\u2019t say that wouldn\u2019t be exciting if I got to help out with the organization one day. I always thought that I wanted to be in the sporting world when I was done with tennis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Probably more importantly than Pegula\u2019s quote is this sentence from the CNBC writer, Alex Sherman:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g79 _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Pegula said that despite the record high valuations and the recent team sales, she wouldn\u2019t want her family to sell the teams they own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">That, of course, is huge. Her father is 75 years old. After a tragic cardiac arrest episode, her mother Kim had to step down from her role as the CEO of Pegula Sports and Entertainment. She was very active in everything Bills and Sabres before her medical event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Technically, as one of the heirs to Bills ownership, it\u2019s vital that Jessica is interested in future involvement in the team. She has four siblings \u2014 two brothers and two sisters. Laura, Terry\u2019s daughter from his first marriage, started to attend league meetings with her dad as early as 2023, but her exact role with the team is unknown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While the rest of the Pegula children can be spotted around the team from time to time, there\u2019s been nothing official or on the record about their interest in future involvement with the team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">While nothing definitive, Jessica\u2019s comments should nonetheless serve as a positive development for the Bills staying in the Pegula family long-term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Right now Jessica Pegula is one of the best tennis players in the world \u2014 could acting owner&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":866480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[71478,99,428],"class_list":["post-866479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-buffalo-bills-news","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=866479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/866479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/866480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=866479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=866479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=866479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
