WTA World No. 4 Jessica Pegula has opened up about her mother’s health issues in a recent column on The Players’ Tribune. Pegula and her family had kept details about Kim’s health for over eight months before Jessica finally decided that she is going to speak about it in public. The co-owner of Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, Kim Pegula suffered cardiac arrest in June 2022 and is still in the recovery phase.
In a column titled ‘I want to talk to you about my Mom’, Pegula revealed the struggles her mother has been having to deal with since mid 2022. “She can read, write, and understand pretty well, but she has trouble finding the words to respond. The doctors continue to be blown away by her recovery, considering where she started, and her determination is the driving force of that”, Pegula wrote.
The American tennis star has received words of support and encouragement from fans across the globe as well as from members within the Tennis fraternity. Tennis icon Chris Evert expressed her support on Twitter: “Thank you for sharing this heartbreaking and heartwarming story, Jessie. Your mother is incredible and resilient.
