Jessica Pegula braces for a tough challenge from Alexandra Eala in the final of the 2026 Washington D.C Open.
Pegula will play Eala for the first time since their epic three-set encounter in Miami last year.
A three-set win by Pegula in this match pays more than 3x the amount of the wager.
Current Form:
Alexandra Eala’s historic run continues in D.C as the Filipina sensation added another legendary name to her list of high-profile opponents she defeated this season. Eala displayed skill and poise to dispatch four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-2. Eala conceded only one service game and broke Osaka four times to pull off another marquee win.
Jessica Pegula has reached the final of the D.C Open as the No.1 seed. She took down Diana Shnaider in straight sets 7-5, 6-4. Pegula, who defeated Anna Kalinskaya and Magdalena Frech in the earlier rounds, has only dropped six service games in this competition.
The Matchup: Pegula owns a 1-0 series lead against Alexandra Eala, beating her in last year’s Miami Open semifinals. However, with Eala peaking up over the past months, the American should expect a fiercer challenge from her in this title match.

Our Jessica Pegula vs Alexandra Eala Prediction
The Difference Maker: Jessica Pegula’s four losses on the hard court this season came at the hands of Elena Rybakina (three times) and Marta Kostyuk in Brisbane last January.
Pegula is playing efficient tennis on both ends, winning nearly 70 percent of her first serves and converting 48.1 percent of break chances.
Meanwhile, Eala has already faced 30 breakpoints in this tournament, dropping 10 service games. This will also be her first WTA 500 final appearance, and she will be going up against a former champion of this tournament for the title.
What to Expect: Eala takes Pegula to three sets again, but the American’s experience and championship pedigree will eventually prevail in the end.
Fearless Forecast: Jessica Pegula wins 3-6, 6-4, 7-5
