Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff - former doubles partners turned rivals - will contest the Cincinnati Open final today, producing the first all-American women's showpiece at the tournament since 1970.
That year, Rosy Casals got the better of Nancy Richey. More than half a century later, two of the country's finest are ready to write a new chapter.
Third seed Pegula battled past defending champion Iga Swiatek in a gruelling near-three-hour semi-final to reach her ninth WTA 1000 final. Fourth seed Gauff had a smoother route, dispatching Sara Bejlek to book her spot.
Both women are chasing a 12th WTA Tour singles crown. Pegula wants a fifth WTA 1000 trophy; Gauff is after her fourth. The winner pockets $1,085,200, with $564,920 going to the runner-up.
Gauff, who won the Cincinnati title in 2023, has banked over $34 million in career prize money - 10th on the all-time list. Pegula sits 25th with more than $25 million.
Pegula holds a 5-4 edge in their rivalry, including a 4-2 advantage on hard courts. Yet Gauff won their most recent encounter at Wimbledon, while their last hard-court meeting came at the 2025 WTA Finals.
The final in Mason is scheduled for 19:00 local time, following the men's decider at 16:30.
