Eugenie Bouchard debunks nonsense theory about Jessica Pegula

Eugenie Bouchard has criticised Jessica Pegula’s opponents. The 2014 Wimbledon finalist insists that the American tennis star’s success is definitely not something that money can buy.

During the recent US Open, the world number 3 achieved her best Grand Slam performance ever. She reached the final, but then lost 5-7 5-7 to Aryna Sabalenka.

While most of the attention has been focused on the 30-year-old’s strong run, her name in the headlines has also led some to point out the fact that she is the daughter of billionaire Terry Pegula. For context, there are people who don’t like Pegula just because she comes from a wealthy family and automatically assume that she hasn’t had to work for anything in her life.

And at X someone expressed her disbelief that there are people making malicious comments about the new American top tennis player, while it is clear that she looks like a very simple person and does not want to show herself in any way.

Responding to the post, Bouchard said: “Money can’t buy you a US Open final, lol.”

Pegula: I find it annoying, scandalous…

During the US Open, the eventual runner-up said what irritates her most are some theories and assumptions about her life.

“I did something in the media the other day. They said something like, ‘What’s the most annoying thing? That people think I have a butler, that I get chauffeured around. I have a private limousine, that I fly everywhere privately. I’m absolutely not like that. It’s a little annoying, but honestly I just find it funny because I don’t really know anyone who lives like that. It’s outrageous,'” the world No. 3 said at the US Open.

Pegula has been one of the best players on the WTA Tour for years and she has definitely made a name for herself and carved out a career for herself.
