Pegula crowns Gauff as the tour's best mover after Cincinnati final

After a one‑sided Cincinnati Open final, Jessica Pegula lauded Coco Gauff’s movement and said she’s the best mover on tour, highlighting Gauff’s defense from the corners. Pegula also noted Gauff’s combination of movement with serve and return, and while she felt she didn’t play badly, she couldn’t counter the inspired performance. Pegula heads to the US Open in form, having reached two finals this summer and recently beaten Swiatek in a three‑setter, signaling her continued competitiveness.

Eala Edges Pegula in Washington Open Final After Rain Delay

Alex Eala defeated Jessica Pegula in the Washington Open final after rain delayed the finish, capturing her first WTA title. Pegula had studied Eala’s slower serve and even practiced against one, but her return game slipped as Eala played for percentage. Pegula won only about 30% of return points and only 10 points against Eala’s serve in the second and third sets combined, compared with 11 in the first. The crowd backed Eala, and both players head to the Canadian Open, with Eala facing Alycia Parks and Pegula facing Magdalena Frech.

Swiatek Sparks Clay Comeback with Rout of Pegula in Rome

Iga Swiatek signaled a return to top form on clay by overpowering Jessica Pegula in Rome, deploying a simpler, more patient, high‑intensity game under coach Roig and using deep returns to force errors. The win suggests ominous French Open prospects for rivals, with potential semi-final foes Elena Rybakina or Elina Svitolina in sight. On the men's side, Lorenzo Musetti withdrew from Roland Garros with a thigh injury, joining Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper on the sidelines.
