Coco Gauff beats Jessica Pegula to win Cincinnati Open ahead of US Open

Coco Gauff powered past Jessica Pegula in the final of the Cincinnati Open to claim her first title of 2026, just ahead of the US Open. BBC Sport reported that Gauff’s victory came as the tournament wrapped up its build-up to the season’s final Grand Slam. The men’s event was won by Arthur Fils. Gauff’s triumph in Cincinnati hands her a tour-level title and arrives at a critical point in the calendar, directly before the US Open, while Fils takes the men’s crown at the same event.
