1. Jessie Pegula advances to the Australian Open quarterfinal
Jessie Pegula, daughter of Bills owners Kim and Terry Pegula, has had quite the Australian Open appearance. Pegula is set to play in her first grand slam quarterfinal tonight.
Pegula didn't have an easy route to the quarterfinal as she took down Elina Svitolina who was the No. 5 seed. It was her first win over a top 10 player.
Pegula will face another American and a good friend, Jennifer Brady, in the final eight of the grand slam tournament.
In an ESPN article, her coach David Witt explained confidence is a big part of her recent rise. Someone who she has looked to for inspiration has been Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
"Even last year, when he wasn't playing that well, I was like, 'I like this kid.' I loved his competitive spirit. He was a gamer. He just wanted to win. That's something you love to see,'' she said about Allen. "It's definitely something I think I tried to take into my game a little bit, even watching the team getting that grit, that competitive attitude, having that mindset; in tennis, it's like 90%, sometimes, of the matches. I think it's been really cool to watch them and kind of channel that energy into how I've been doing.''
Pegula will play Brady on Wednesday at 9:00 pm ET on ESPN2.
