Jessica Pegula has a chance to etch her name in the Canadian Open history as one of few players to win the tournament in two consecutive years on Monday, as she battles fellow American Amanda Anisimova in the women’s singles final on center court at Sobeys Stadium in Toronto, Canada. Pegula, the No.6 ranked player in the WTA world ranking, can become the first player since Martina Hingis to win the Canadian Open title in a back-to-back years. Hingis did the feat at the height of her prime between 1999 and 2000. Pegula hasn’t dropped a set in the tournament so far, beating Karolina Pliskova, Ashly Krueger Peyton Stearns, and Diana Shnaider in straight sets. Meanwhile, Amanda Anisimova is also having the time of her life in Toronto, scoring five consecutive victories against top-notch opposition that includes Anna Kalinskaya, Aryna Sabalenka, and Emma Navarro. By reaching the finals of the Canadian Open, she became the lowest-ranked finalist at the world’s No. 132 since Alycia Moulton in 1984.
