Overview
- Organizers suspended the women's final on Sunday and rescheduled play to resume Monday at noon local time after rain and lightning halted action with Jessica Pegula up 6-4 and Alexandra Eala leading 2-1 in the second set.
- Eala reached the WTA 500 final by upsetting Naomi Osaka 6-4, 6-2 in the semifinals, a run that guarantees her a career-best jump into the top 25 and is projected to move her to about 24th in the live rankings.
- Top seed Jessica Pegula advanced to the title match by beating Diana Shnaider 7-5, 6-4 and had won the opening set of the final before the weather stopped play.
- The tournament reported a surge in ticket interest tied to Eala’s presence, with organizers saying a large share of inquiries asked when she would play and Filipino supporters filling the stadium this week.
- The delay will extend players' Washington stays but may have limited competitive impact because both Pegula and Eala hold first-round byes at the upcoming Toronto WTA 1000 event, though persistent poor weather could continue to disrupt scheduling.
