The championship match of the Mubadala DC Open is set for Sunday. World No. 3 Jessica Pegula faces World No. 28 Alexandra Eala in Washington DC. Pegula seeks her second title in the capital, marking a return to the site of her first career WTA Tour title victory in 2019.
Eala reaches this final following a series of strong performances, including wins over multiple seeded opponents. She hopes to secure her first career WTA singles title after falling short in the Eastbourne final last year. The Filipina star has recorded six wins against top 10 players this season and aims for a seventh against the top-ranked American.
The final takes place at 12 p.m. on the Stadium Court at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center. The winner will earn $252,000, while the runner-up receives $155,000. Both players are competing for 500 ranking points.
Pegula leads the head-to-head record 1-0 after a victory in the 2025 Miami semifinals. This Sunday encounter serves as an opportunity for Eala to test her skills against a top-tier opponent in a high-stakes match. Local weather forecasts prompted a change to the original schedule, moving the match time up from its initial 2:30 p.m. slot.
