When Tennis and Business Collide: Jessica Pegula’s Chat with Serena Williams
Serena Williams: Hey Jessica! It’s great to catch up with you. How’s life treating you on and off the court?
Jessica Pegula: Hey Serena! Life is pretty exciting right now, juggling matches and a bit of family business here and there. How about you?
Serena Williams: Oh, you know me. Busy as always, both with tennis and my ventures like Serena Ventures. Speaking of which, how do you balance your tennis career with your involvement in the Buffalo Bills and Sabres?
Jessica Pegula: It’s definitely a juggling act, but I enjoy every moment of it. Tennis is my passion, but being part of the business side of things, especially with the Bills and Sabres, is truly exhilarating. It’s all about managing time and staying focused on what’s in front of me.
Serena Williams: That’s impressive. It must be thrilling to watch your family’s sports teams reach new heights. Do you ever find inspiration for tennis from football or hockey?
Jessica Pegula: Absolutely! The energy in those stadiums is contagious. Watching the players’ discipline and teamwork inspires me to bring that same intensity and collaboration to my matches. Plus, interacting with fans from different sports gives me a broader perspective.
Serena Williams: I completely get that. Fans are such a driving force. Speaking of inspiration, are there any business ventures you’re eyeing outside of sports?
Jessica Pegula: Actually, yes! I’ve been thinking about branching into the wellness industry. Something that combines fitness and mental well-being, which is crucial for both athletes and non-athletes. It’s still in the idea phase, but I’m excited about the possibilities.
Serena Williams: That sounds fantastic. Wellness is such an important field, especially now. I can see you bringing a fresh perspective to it. Do you feel any pressure being part of such a sports-centric family?
Jessica Pegula: A little bit, but mostly, it’s incredibly motivating. My family’s success pushes me to be the best version of myself, both on and off the court. It’s all about pushing boundaries and striving for excellence.
Serena Williams: That’s the spirit! Speaking of pushing boundaries, what’s one goal you have for the upcoming season?
Jessica Pegula: I’m aiming to crack into the Top 5 in the WTA rankings and bring home a Grand Slam title. It’s a lofty goal, but I believe in my training and my team. And who knows, maybe a tennis-wellness crossover project isn’t too far off either!
Serena Williams: Dream big, girl! With your dedication and passion, I’m sure you’ll achieve great things. Here’s to a successful season and many more exciting ventures ahead!
Jessica Pegula: Thanks, Serena! Your words mean a lot. Here’s to both of us continuing to make waves in tennis and beyond!
