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.
