Jessica Pegula Claims Seventh Career Title with ATX Open Victory

The World No. 4 defeated fellow American McCartney Kessler in straight sets to secure her first title of 2025 in Austin, Texas.

Jessica Pegula, the tournament's top seed, defeated No. 5 seed McCartney Kessler 7-5, 6-2 in the ATX Open final on Sunday.
This marks Pegula's seventh career WTA singles title and her first since winning the Canadian Open in 2024.
The match was the first all-American WTA final on U.S. soil since the 2017 U.S. Open, highlighting the rise of American talent in the sport.
Pegula overcame a 4-2 deficit in the first set and dominated the second set, converting 6 of 10 break points during the match.
Kessler, a rising star with two career titles, reached the final after defeating Belgium’s Greet Minnen in the semifinals but struggled with unforced errors in the championship match.
