Alex Eala wins her first WTA singles title, rallying past top seed Jessica Pegula in a final disrupted by rain. According to multiple reports, the match extends across two days, with the women’s final resuming after weather delays. Eala, who is trailing after the initial set and resumes play needing a comeback, defeats Pegula 4-6, 6-4, 6-0. The decisive third set is played with Pegula unable to match Eala’s momentum, sealing the title for the 21-year-old.
In the same event window, Taylor Fritz claims a Washington Open trophy in the men’s final. Reports state that Fritz beats teen Rafael Jodar to take the crown and register his first title of the season. The coverage describes both finals as being affected by rain scheduling, but both matches are ultimately completed, with Eala delivering the most significant upset by overcoming the top seed to become the first player from the Philippines to win a WTA Tour-level singles title.
