Jessica Pegula’s strong season continued at the Charleston Open as she retained her title to win her second event of the year so far. Pegula dropped a set in all of her matches except the final, where she beat Yuliia Starodubtseva 6-2 6-2. The world number five has won 24 of 28 matches so far in 2026.
She faces Katie Boulter after receiving a bye. The former British number one advanced after a win over Taylor Townsend. She had 14 break point opportunities overall, converting four of them as she won 6-4 6-2 after one hour and 32 minutes.
The head-to-head is 1-1 between the pair, and this will be their first match against each other on clay. They last played towards the end of 2025, with Pegula coming from a set down to win their match at the Billie Jean King Cup. Pegula is the clear favourite, but their two previous encounters have been thoroughly competitive.
