Jessica Pegula joins tennis stars laughing at Taylor Fritz’s wedding joke

Jessica Pegula was among the American stars who laughed out loud at Taylor Fritz’s playful Instagram post from Tommy Paul’s wedding on Wednesday in New York.

What happened at Tommy Paul’s wedding?

Tommy Paul tied the knot with entrepreneur Paige Lorenzo on 16 July 2026 in New York City. The guest list read like a U.S. Open starter pack: Taylor Fritz, Reilly Opelka, Frances Tiafoe and Alex Rybakov all attended. Fritz stole the show with a deadpan Instagram reel wearing a sleek black tuxedo, complete with a white boutonniere and a gloomy mug.

He captioned the clip: “Me at bro’s wedding wearing the most attractive suit to show him what he lost.” Then he added: “It could’ve been me.”

How did Jessica Pegula react?

Pegula, the 2023 US Open finalist, joined Madison Keys in flooding the comments with laughing emojis. The post ricocheted across the tennis world, drawing replies from Sam Querrey (“This is an elite post”) and even the groom himself, who quipped: “Sheeeshhh why not both.”

Paul’s new wife piled on, telling Fritz he looked better than she did: “Mogging me tbh.”

Why does this moment matter for Pegula?

For Pegula, the viral clip is just the latest slice of off-court levity that keeps her in the spotlight beyond the baseline. It also spotlights the tight-knit culture among U.S. stars who mix high-stakes matches with high-jinks off them.

The exchange landed exactly when Pegula is chasing another deep run at a Grand Slam. Her next major starts in late August at the US Open, where she’ll aim to erase last year’s quarterfinal exit.

What’s next for the U.S. crew?

Fritz, fresh off a Wimbledon quarterfinal run in 2026, keeps the meme train rolling with his bold BOSS suits and quips about looking “stupid” if he loses in them. Meanwhile, Pegula and Keys stay locked in their doubles partnership and singles campaigns.

Paul and Lorenzo are already on their honeymoon, but the wedding video keeps giving. The clip racked up thousands of likes within hours, proving once again that tennis Twitter loves a good roast.
