The American Madison Keys, ninth in the WTA table, was defeated by compatriot Jessica Pegula, the sixth tennis player in the world, 6:3, 6:4. Keys ended her defense of her first Grand Slam trophy after 79 minutes. This means that due to such an early elimination, he will drop out of the world Top 10.
Pegula opened the match with a break for a big lead 3:0, but Keys made a big reversal at 4:3. However, Pegula found the strength for a new twist and winning the first set.
In the second set, Pegula took the opponent’s serve twice and led 4:1, but it was not over. Moreover, Keys had the ball for 4:4 and returning both breaks. However, her return stopped there. Pegula made it to the quarterfinals, where Amanda Asimov is waiting for her.
Pegula earned nearly $22 million in tournament prize money in her career. However, that’s just a pittance compared to what she and her four siblings will inherit. The tennis player is the daughter of Terry Pegula, whose fortune is estimated at over 7.5 billion dollars.
He made his fortune in the natural gas and real estate business. He owns the Buffalo Bills, an NFL franchise he bought in 2014, outbidding Donald Trump, Jon Bon Jovi and other interested parties. In addition, he is also the owner of the Buffalo Sabers hockey team.
