"Maybe some people who just don’t want to like me": Jessica Pegula not affected by criticism of billionaire background
WTAFriday, 01 December 2023 at 01:52
America’s tennis star Jessica Pegula believes that people
who still question her success on the court are those who don’t want to like
her.
The 29-year-old is one of the most renowned tennis players
currently playing in the women’s singles category. Despite her recent success
on the court, there has been noise, especially on social media that she has
managed to reach that spot because of her strong financial background.
Pegula, while talking to Forbes, expressed her opinion about
those people who still question her success and believe that they are those
people who just don’t want to like her.
“I think everyone who knows sports or is an athlete or is
highly competitive or made it very far knows you’re not going to get there
unless you work hard and are talented and are really driven to get there,” she
said.
“It’s really difficult. People say that, but I think
everyone who knows kind of knows it’s not going to happen unless someone’s
really a hard worker and driven. I don’t worry too much about it. I think most
people get that.
“Maybe some people who just don’t want to like me for
whatever reason will always say that. But I can’t really change their
minds. I’ve worked really hard. I definitely wouldn’t have gotten here if it
wasn’t for that.”
