Pegula putting family experience in NFL and NHL to use in tennis prize money protest‎

Talk of a boycott from top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner has grabbed attention. Behind the scenes, it’s been Jessica Pegula, the 2024 U.S. Open runner-up, organizing the top tennis players in their protest with the Grand Slams over the share of tournament revenues devoted to prize money. It comes naturally to Pegula, who grew up in a household of sports managers: Her parents own the NFL’s Buffalo Bills and the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres.
