Alexandra Eala made history at the Washington Open — the first Filipino ever to win a WTA singles title. The final got rained out mid-second-set on Sunday, with Eala leading, and finished Monday.
The rest was swift. Two-time champion Jessica Pegula took the opener 6-4, then conceded the next two sets
6-4, 6-0 to Eala's left-handed serve and zero visible nerves.Pegula had called her "the future of the tour" before the match. Five consecutive wins over top-10 players later — Rybakina, Svitolina (twice), Swiatek, Pegula — the future seems to be running ahead of schedule, per BBC Sport.
