When you’re Jessica Pegula—billionaire heiress, tennis star, and casual jet-setter—traveling to a tournament isn’t just about TSA lines and cramped legroom. No, ma’am. It’s about taking off in style, sipping champagne at 30,000 feet, and possibly arriving at Centre Court fresher than your opponents’ breakfast. And lately, it looks like Pegula’s private jet is quickly becoming tennis’s most exclusive ride-share service.
Forget Uber Black. This is Uber Platinum With Caviar. According to a very cheeky post from a fellow WTA player, Pegula’s sleek, black jet made a surprise appearance after a tournament—and next thing you know, she’s offering lifts like she’s the friend with the good car in college. Only this time, the “good car” is a flying luxury condo.
Tennis fans went wild. One Reddit user quipped, “Imagine losing in the quarterfinals and flying home next to Pegula’s designer purse.” Another added, “I’d fake an injury for a seat on that plane.” Meanwhile, Coco Gauff liked the post with a knowing wink. Coincidence? We think not.
Of course, Pegula played it cool—posting a cryptic photo of the jet stairs and a caption that read, “On to the next.” You know, just another day in the life of tennis’s quiet luxury queen.
But here’s the real question: is this the future of WTA travel? Will we soon see “Pegula Air” offering direct routes from Rome to Roland Garros, complete with recovery smoothies and ATP gossip onboard? One can dream.
For now, Pegula’s flying high—literally and figuratively—on and off the court. And while some players are still waiting for their luggage at baggage claim, Jessica’s already stretching in the lounge with a mimosa in hand.
Tennis might be played on the ground, but Jessica Pegula? She’s winning in the clouds.
