Jessica Pegula extends playful birthday wish to sister Kelly Pegula

Jessica Pegula recently wished her sister Kelly on her birthday. Pegula has four siblings, including sister Kelly and brother Matthew, and two step-siblings from her father Terry Pegula's previous marriage, Michael and Laura.

The American shares a close relationship with her sister Kelly, as the two have previously gone into business together. The sister duo opened a quick-serve restaurant called 'Healthy Scratch' in 2016, with multiple locations opening in 2018 and 2019. However, the restaurants began to close after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Pegula recently concluded her US Open run, which ended in a heartbreaking loss in the final to Aryna Sabalenka. The American began her campaign by defeating compatriots Shelby Rogers and Sofia Kenin in straight sets. She then defeated Jessica Bouzas Maneiro and Diana Shnaider in the third and fourth rounds, respectively.

In the quarterfinals, the World No. 3 upset Iga Swiatek to set up a semifinal clash with the resurgent Karolina Muchova. The Czech took the first set off Pegula, but the American staged a remarkable comeback to reach the final. In the title clash, she was outclassed by Sabalenka 5-7, 5-7.
