"Jessica Pegula showing all the nepo babies what a hard days work looks like," the fan's tweet read.
"Hardworking and humble billionaire. A true woman for the people," said another fan.
Another fan called Pegula a 'working class hero.'

- When it comes to screwing-up tests, samples, re-tests and so -- WTA, ITIA and ITF cannot hide the fact they have been covering their collective asses in several cases the past two years. If nothing else, backtracking on their initial decisions and finding a way to explain away reverting to minor penalties is kind of obvious at this point. And keeping top players' "failed" tests secret for weeks/months because they are not 100% positive about those "failed" tests is counterproductive.
