There's A Chance Two Billionaire Daughters Will Face Off In The US Open Finals
The U.S. Open women's singles tournament is a long, arduous event. You need to win four matches simply to reach the quarterfinals. From there, two more victories will get you into the final, and then you have a shot to win it all. That's all over a span of three weeks under the hot summer sun.
We're keeping our eye on two players in particular.
Due to how the bracket is set up, Americans Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro can only meet in the U.S. Open final. And if they do, it'll be a momentous and unique event as both athletes are daughters of billionaires.

Pegula, who's currently ranked No. 6 in the world, is the daughter of Terry and Kim Pegula. The Pegulas own the NFL's Buffalo Bills and the NHL's Buffalo Sabres. They have a combined net worth of about $8 billion.
Navarro is the daughter of Ben Navarro, the founder of Sherman Financial Group and owner of Credit One Bank. Ben Navarro has a net worth of approximately $1.5 billion.
Though their parents have accumulated significant wealth, the tennis players are no slouches, either. Jessica Pegula has won six singles titles and seven doubles titles. She also ran several healthy quick-serve restaurants and has her own skin-care line. While she's not a billionaire, she has an impressive net worth of $10 million.
Emma Navarro is a younger player—she only made her Grand Slam debut in 2021—but has already amassed close to $2.5 million in winnings. She's ranked No. 13, and on Sunday she upset superstar Coco Gauff.
And on Monday, Jessica defeated Diana Shnaider in her round of 16 match.
We're still several matches away from seeing Pegula and Navarro match up. They would both need to defeat their respective quarter final and semi final opponents.
Yet, if everything shakes out, there'd certainly be some family pride on the line. After all, you don't become a billionaire by having a small ego.
