Alexandra Eala became the first Filipina to ever win an event on the WTA Tour, defeating Jessica Pegula 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 on Monday at the DC Open final. "Thank you to all my supporters, especially the Filipino community here in DC and back home," she said after the match. Perhaps the delay was a blessing in disguise for Eala, who lost the first set and held in the second set at 2-1 before rains halted the proceedings. But she quickly took control of the match on Monday, winning the second set before completely dominating the third. 20 on the WTA Tour.
