MONTREAL — For the third time in her WTA career, Buffalo native and third ranked women's tennis player in the world Jessica Pegula has won a tour championship.
Pegula routed Liudmila Samsonova 6-1, 6-0 to claim the National Bank Open Championship on Sunday in Montreal. Taking a mere 49 minutes in total to do so.
Her win marks the first time an American has won the event since Serena Williams did so back in 2013.
A day earlier she upset the world No. 1 Iga Swiatek (6-2, 6-7 (4), 6-4) to stamp her spot in the finals.
