Jessica Pegula is a familiar face on the pro tennis circuit, but her family's reach in professional sports doesn't stop at the court. Her parents own two major professional sports franchises in Buffalo, a distinction shared by only a handful of families nationwide. It makes for an unusual split down one household: one generation building teams, the next competing on tour. For a set of readers well acquainted with what it takes to own a franchise, it's a name worth knowing on both sides of the ledger.

With reporting from Town & Country.
