@TheTennisLetter Coco Gauff beating Jessica Pegula and then spending this much of her speech giving Jessica credit was a nice touch. You can tell the respect between them is real.
Coco Gauff owns Cincinnati again.
A 6-2, 6-4 win over Jessica Pegula gives Coco Gauff her second Cincinnati title and her first trophy of 2026.
Pretty good timing with the US Open right around the corner.
Cincinnati gets an all-American women’s final for the first time since 1970.
Coco Gauff vs Jessica Pegula.
Jessica Pegula had to battle through three sets against Iga Świątek. Coco Gauff came through Sara Bejlek in straight sets.
Two very different routes to the same final.
@WomensHoops_USA Angel Reese going 14-for-21 from the field while adding 4 steals made this more than just a scoring night. She was impacting both ends.
@ShowCaseShabazz 31 points and 14 rebounds is a huge night from Angel Reese. The scoring stands out, but she was still doing the work on the glass too.
Serena Williams is heading back to the US Open.
She’ll team up with Carlos Alcaraz in mixed doubles after receiving a wildcard for the 2026 tournament.
Serena back at Flushing Meadows, this time alongside Alcaraz. That is going to draw some attention.
@CitiusMag Audrey Werro had just enough left at the line. Femke Broeders-Bol closing that much ground in the final stretch made this one seriously close.
Coco Gauff is starting to look different in Cincinnati.
A 6-2, 6-2 win over Marta Kostyuk makes it six straight sets won, but the bigger change has been how often she is moving forward and finishing points at the net.
Now Sara Bejlek stands between her and the final.
