Gauff Wins Cincinnati Title, Preps for US Open

American Coco Gauff defeated Jessica Pegula 6-2, 6-4 to win the Cincinnati Open title, her first championship of the season and second in Cincinnati.

World No. 7 Coco Gauff continued her strong form leading up to the US Open, claiming the Cincinnati Open title with a convincing victory over third-seeded compatriot Jessica Pegula. The 19-year-old American's triumph marks her first title of the season and her second championship in Cincinnati, following her previous win in 2019.

This victory represents a significant turnaround for Gauff, who just a year ago was considering major changes to her team amid struggles with her serve and confidence.
