Pegula, seeded third, never trailed in a contest where she won 80% of her first serve points and broke Tig's serve six times. Pegula edged Svitolina in a three-set battle in Washington D.C. earlier this month and holds a 3-1 advantage in their career meetings. "Every single match we play is just a really good battle," Pegula said. Svitolina returned in April following the birth of her daughter and Pegula said she had already got back to top form. But she settled in from there, breaking Kenin for 3-3 and again to level the contest at a set apiece.
