Tennis player Jessie Pegula had a message she wanted to get out to the world after her victory against Samantha Stosur in the Australian Open on Thursday: Let's Go Buffalo!

Pegula, the daughter of Buffalo Sabres and Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula, wrote "Go Sabres, Go Bills! Hi Ons" with a smiley face on a television camera after she advanced to the third round of the Aussie Open on Friday.

While the "Go Sabres, Go Bills" part of the message was obvious considering her parents, the "Hi Ons" was a message to fellow tennis player Ons Jabeur, the 27th seed at the tournament.
Jabeur, who is slated to take on No. 3 Naomi Osaka on Thursday at 9:30 ET, got a good laugh from the shoutout.

The unranked Pegula turned some heads when she upset 12th-seeded Victoria Azarenka on Monday.
She is scheduled to face Kristina Mladenovic in the third round on Friday.
