You're gonna "ask dumb questions because you're a proxy for your audience"? Nice!
Love hearing Jess talk about topics relating to the players and it really shows how level-headed she is – rooting for her to win her first Grand Slam!
I am Jessica. No business in my life
isn't her dad a billionaire lol
LOL daughter of billionaires. We're supposed to be impressed?
Awesome Jess. So wise. Never beats herself. Jess, Aryna, Iga, and Coco are the most consistent players on the tour. They have been in the top 5 for the last 3 years.
Great interview. I’m a pretty big tennis fan, senior player and business/IT leader. You had great questions and Jess is a rockstar interviewee. She has such great insight into at least 3 different sports and a solid communicator. Well done, gentlemen.
3:49 doubles dont exist??
cute interview everyone, thx 4 this Bloomberg
Ben Navarro made his billions from being a loan shark.
What a great interview. Quality questions leading to incredible insights into the world of tennis and the person of Jess
Love us some JPeg. Our next mogul when she’s done with Tennis. Not soon though need a GS Jess
Well spoke Pegula! Let’s go Bills
Jessica always very interesting to listen to, eloquent and just very chill.🥰🥰🥰
Not that there was anything wrong with he interview as an interview but I'm not sure that the title wasn't a little deceptive. Jess is in the unenviable position of opposing a group of outside influencers who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, while she without any power beyond recommendation to change things. She clearly has a handle on the issues that concern players but history shows that little of substance has come about that may not be described as token concessions from the governing body. Jess touched upon the crowded calendar, for example, but not on the exponential rise in injuries amd physical/mental burnout it causes. I suppose it was inevitable, given her family connection, the "The Business of Tennis" gave way to a long discussion of the family's involvement in other sports that, by their own admission, are totally unlike tennis. Somewhat of a missed opportunity but, as I said, Jess is in an impossible position and was politically correct throughout.
Well spoken. Jess is great! Big fan
Jess is going to be a great president of the WTA one day 😉
