"When it was like last year coming close Coco Gauff's like, and she won't say anything, and I don't say anything, but it's like there, but her dad will, like, try and get me going," said Pegula. "Oh man, those Miami Dolphins we're looking good. And I'm just like whatever.

"Yeah, I mean, hey, they're a good team," she continued. "So, uh, they've been playing a lot better the past year, so they're going to be tough in our division. We've kind of owned the division the last few years, but it might be a little bit tougher."

Pegula also recalled the time when she went to watch the Buffalo-Dolphins game. "It's funny, I've been here a few times for Buffalo Bill's games, where we sit like, literally on the sideline here, and uh, usually the roof, it angles the sun right on the away team," she said. "So you're just on the side and, you know, everyone from Buffalo Bills is baking so it's pretty funny.”
