Jessica Pegula, daughter of Buffalo Bills owners, into 4th round at Australian Open

American Jessica Pegula advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open for the second consecutive year with a 7-6 (3), 6-2 victory over Nuria Parrizas Diaz on Thursday.

The tournament's No. 21 seed recorded seven aces and 20 winners in the 91-minute clash. She'll next face the winner of the Maria Sakkari-Veronika Kudermetova match.

After the victory, Pegula wrote on the on-court camera in celebration: "Bills you're next."

Pegula's parents Kim and Terry own the Buffalo Bills, and the team is slated to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday with a spot in the AFC Championship game on the line.
