Comparing her to Garrett Gilbert is a stretch.  Jess wasn't just born here.  Her family owns Buffalo's major sport franchises.  With her sister, Jess chose to open a restaurant in Buffalo because she's still tied to the area.  

 

As far as I know, Garret hasn't had on ongoing relationship with the city.  Jess has, and still does.  

 

Garret has an one night stand with the city.  Jess has a marriage. 

I have already submitted and I will agree with you guys 

 

They have embraced the city and the city embraced them

Jessica is my favorite American player

She also defines her hometown as Buffalo. That has to count for something if she herself defines herself from here. 

 

She likely could get more endorsements if she identified as being from someplace else as well as move to state with no income tax to save on that.

Do tennis players pay income tax where they play like football players do?

I don't think agreeing is allowed.  We fight to the death over inconsequential stuff here.  I think that's a rule.

Good question lol no clue I have to suspect that they pay tax on where they earn their money but I am no accountant 

[BillsPride12]

Awesome!  His old man would be proud

Go Jess Go. Sabelenka is a monster but Jess is so scrappy. Hopefully she'll bring Buffalo a championship.p

Quote

 

One of Pegula’s strengths is her fearlessness to employ different strategies. Against Świątek, she constantly hit into her body, making her opponent’s return shot even more difficult.

In both matches, Pegula was comfortable engaging in long rallies, while waiting for her opponent to make the first mistake.

This strategy underscores her confidence in her recent form, which could undoubtedly be pivotal against a hard-hitter like Sabalenka.

The moment is proving to be too big for Jessica.

Sabalenka is too big for Jessica. She's like a cyborg. 

[Draconator]

It kind of looks like Pegula has stopped trying 

[Draconator]

And just like that!

How am I supposed to feel about Robert Kraft cheering on Pegula?

I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong, I hope I'm wrong!!!!
