Great game plan and execution by Jessie. She deserved the win. Really solid tennis under big game conditions. Rock solid and she has a nice draw in the semifinals. She has a helluva chance to move into the finals. Happy for her.

Remember the snarky remarks that she was just a little rich girl with a hobby? Yeah, that all looks pretty silly and ignorant now. She is a world class athlete and could not be where she is without in

Good recap. So basically she’s a Buffalo gal, wins A lot but hasn’t won the big one.  Sounds on brand.   Go Jess!

Third. Definitely at least second. One more win, she is #1.

Patrick Kane is #1. Jimmy Arias was pretty good too.

Are you being sarcastic? She's constantly bringing up the bills.

Expand  

She represents the Bills well. I've heard her on several occasions giving them their props.

She reps the Bills and even the Sabres too all the time when she is doing interviews at the tourneys and stuff.  You better believe she has the support of WNY and Bills fans!

 

She rocked it tonight.  On to the Final Four baby!

Well no offense but she certainly doesn't have as many fans as the bills and sabres 

 

And she definitely was not raised in Buffalo even if she was in Western New York Pennsylvania area 

 

She's not  a local to the level andreeson is

 

( It's funny all the eye rolls I'm getting, but let's just break this down... Terry pegula is not born and raised Buffalo... His wife is Rochester... Terry never lived in Buffalo and she wasn't raised here... She lived in Pennsylvania Carolina and Florida... Sure she reps the Buffalo bills who her father owns but she is not really a local like the gronkowskis or andreeson or Kane.. she didn't spend any of her early life in Buffalo

 

Best of luck to her and her career! I just think it's crazy to put her on any level as the bills or sabres which have 50 plus years of history in Buffalo 

 

Before Terry bought the sabres he didn't invest in Buffalo, he wasn't tied to Buffalo

I’m not sure parents owning a business makes you a Buffalonian.

 

If that’s the case then she is a Pennsylvanian as her parents owned a business there for far longer.

Thank you for clarifying for me

Back when i was 12 or so, i took tennis lessons at a place off Sheridan Dr. , I think it was called Amherst Tennis club?!  anyway, Jimmy Arias showed up and just kicked me and the instructor off the court.  He was in his heyday and i was a fan.  But he was such a douche i hated him after that lol.

When I was a kid one of my friends had Jimmy Arias's racket from when he was like 12 yrs old.  At the time being young kids we thought it was going to be worth a fortune.  I see the guy like every 10 yrs and every time that's the first thing we talk about (he still has it) 

 

My brother lives in sarasota and for a while his son was on teams with Arias's kid and he got to know him a bit - didn't ever say he was a douche though 😛

Good story.  I guess it's hard for some to stay humble when they become a star sort of speak.

Jimmy Arias still does commentary on Tennis Channel from time to time. He definitely comes off as a bit of a douche, but he is not afraid to call out a player's weaknesses and his knowledge is impressive.
