No butlers, no chauffeurs - just grit and determination as rich kid Pegula chases first Slam

SERVE & LOLLY

BILLIONAIRE'S daughter Jessica Pegula achieved a "perfect" feat that money can't buy after reaching her first Grand Slam final.

The world No.6, whose family owns the NFL's Buffalo Bills, posted a picture of her journey to Flushing Meadows on the subway at the start of the tournament.

And the 30-year-old revealed she gets annoyed when people think she has a butler, chauffeur and an easy ride in life.

But after a nightmare start to the year, the American has shown her inner drive by winning 15 of her last 16 matches to set up a US Open clash with favourite Aryna Sabalenka.

Pegula who had been 0-6 in Major quarter-finals before beating Iga Swiatek then seeing off Karolina Muchova in yesterday's last four - is the oldest American woman in the Open Era to make a maiden Grand Slam final and the third home player after Serena Williams and Martina Navratilova to reach the US Open final aged 30 or over.
