Jessica Pegula rallying stars in revenue fight against Grand Slams
Jessica Pegula has taken a leading role in organizing top tennis players in their protest against the Grand Slams over the share of tournament revenues devoted to prize money. While talk of a boycott from top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner has grabbed headlines, it has been Pegula who has been quietly coordinating the players behind the scenes.
Growing up in a household of sports managers, Pegula says the leadership role comes naturally to her. Her parents own the NFL's Buffalo Bills and the NHL's Buffalo Sabres.
The players are demanding a fundamental change in how tournament revenues are distributed, and under Pegula's coordination, they are making a powerful collective statement.
