After the women's final stretched across two days because of heavy rain, Eala rallied past Jessica Pegula 4-6 6-4 6-0 Monday to capture the first WTA Tour singles title of her career. My first chance at a title knowing it won't be the last and already having achieved this milestone for my career," Eala said on court. The victory made the 21-year-old Eala the first Filipina to win a singles title on the tour, completing the same career-defining breakthrough that the Washington tournament once gave Pegula when she claimed her first WTA Tour title in 2019.
