Sixth seed and world No.3 Jessica Pegula defended her National Bank Open title with a 6-3 2-6 6-1 victory over Amanda Anisimova in Monday’s all-American final, improving her impressive win-loss record at the tournament to 17-2.
The Buffalo, New York native, who was cheered on by friends, family, and her husband, was especially thrilled to play so close to home—a rare opportunity in her career.
Pegula’s victory marks her sixth WTA singles title and her third at the prestigious WTA 1000 level, adding to her previous triumphs at the National Bank Open in Montreal last year and Guadalajara in 2022.
