Who are Jessica Pegula’s sponsors?
American No 1 Jessica Pegula has admitted that she doesn’t have a whole lot of brands beating down her door for sponsorship deals.
However, earlier this year she seemed to luck her way into a Stella Artois deal thanks to a joke with compatriot Frances Tiafoe.
On top of that Stella partnership, Jessica Pegula has her kit supplied by Adidas and is sponsored by Yonex for her racquets.
Pegula uses the Yonex EZONE 98 and favours the Adidas Barricade Women’s tennis shoe range for her footwear. She wore the distinctive red Barricade Clay shoe at Roland Garros.
At the French Open, she wore the 2023 edition of the Adidas Paris Match Skirt and an Adidas Tennis Y Tank.
She engages in minimal commercial partnerships but launched her own skincare range, Ready 24.
Alongside her successes in singles, Pegula has also formed a formidable doubles pairing with compatriot Coco Gauff. The pair have enjoyed great success with an impressive strike-rate when teaming up.
Jessica Pegula has come to be the nearly-woman of the WTA Tour with unlucky draws often proving her downfall.
The Pegula’s are Buffalo sporting royalty, owning as they do the Buffalo Bills NFL franchise and the Sabres in the NHL.
Pegula is likely well accustomed to the lifestyle of the rich and the famous but she tends to be found on the practice court more often than not.
She will often attend glitzy events with her family or husband, but she can also be spotted on the beach with her dogs.
Pegula is also known to enjoy classic cars and while she doesn’t have her name of the deeds, her family own properties all over the United States.
Pegula married Taylor Gahagen, an executive at the family’s sports empire, back in 2021.
The pair had been dating for a number of years.
At this stage there is no indication of when they intend to start a family.
Pegula’s net worth is estimated at a modest $7.1 million, but that doesn’t take into account any wealth she might inherit from her parents.
Her father Terry Pegula is currently ranked as the 128th richest person in the United States of America with a net worth of $5 billion.
It stands to reason then that Pegula doesn’t need her career to take off for financial reasons.
However, she is still keen to make her own way and has launched a charitable foundation focused on animals as well as a skincare line.
After a consistent but largely barren 2021, Pegula made a step up in 2022.
She bagged her first career WTA 1000 doubles titles in Qatar and later at the Canadian Open alongside Coco Gauff.
Pegula also made her WTA 1000 singles breakthrough in 2022 claiming the final event of that level for the season in Guadalajara.
After being an alternate for the 2021 Tour finals, she took part in the WTA Tour finale for the first time in 2022.
Pegula has never been beyond the last eight in a Grand Slam but she reached that stage in three of the four Majors in 2022.
