Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff to meet in first all-American Cincinnati women’s final in 56 years
Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff are set to face off in the first all-American women's final at the Cincinnati Open in 56 years. Pegula defeated defending champion Iga Swiatek, while Gauff beat Sara Bejlek in their respective matches. Pegula, who broke her losing streak against Swiatek, secured her 45th tour-level win and 300th overall.
Gauff, the 2023 champion, came through the semis after upsetting top seed Aryna Sabalenka. The last time two American women competed in the Cincinnati final was in 1970. Meanwhile, on the men's side, Frances Tiafoe advanced to the final, where he will face fellow American Arthur Fils for the first time in a Masters 1000 tournament.
