The Gist

But get this, the cash you win for getting a gold medal is like, not that big of a deal. This post is all about her trying to win big at the Olympics even though she's already rolling in dough.
Jessica's Olympic Dreams
Jessica Pegula is playing in the Olympics for Team USA, and she's playing doubles with this other cool American player, Coco Gauff. She's got a ton of money from her dad's business, who owns the Buffalo Bills, but she's really into tennis and wants to kick butt in the games.
Olympic Cash vs. Being Rich Already
Okay, so Jessica's family has like, a bazillion dollars, and she's already made a bunch playing tennis. But the thing is, if she wins a gold medal, the money isn't going to change her life or anything. It's like, a nice bonus, but it's not what's really driving her to win.
How She's Doing So Far and What's Next
Jessica didn't do so hot in the singles part, she lost to some player from Ukraine, Elina Svitolina. But in doubles with Coco, they're doing pretty good! They smoked these Australian players in their first match.
What's Coming Up
Now, Jessica and Coco have to play these Czech players, Linda Noskova and Karolina Muchova. It's gonna be tough, but if they keep playing like champs, they might just win the whole thing.
The Bottom Line
Jessica Pegula's story at the Olympics is like, really interesting because she's so rich but still wants to win that gold medal. It's not about the money for her, it's about the glory and stuff. We're all super hyped to see if they can win it all.
