Congratulations to Jessica Pegula on her historic win this week at the US Open!

Messages of support and excitement were flowing on social media for Pegula after she defeated Iga Swiatek, who was the top overall seed heading in Wednesday's quarter-final match.

This win makes it the first time that Jessica Pegula will play in a Major semi-final!

Pegula, the six seed, is the daughter of Kim and Terry Pegula. The Pegulas are know across New York State, and the NFL, for being the owners of the Buffalo Bills!

As the NFL season gets underway this week and fans in Buffalo get ready for the home opener against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday in Orchard Park, fans have another reason to cheer this week!
