Top-seeded Jessica Pegula defeated fellow American and No. 5 seed McCartney Kessler 7-5, 6-2 on Sunday to win the ATX Open final in Austin, Texas and record the seventh singles title of her career.

Pegula converted 6 of 10 break points while downing Kessler in 83 minutes. Kessler committed four double faults and won just four of her 10 service games.

According to the WTA, the match was the first All-American final on U.S. soil since Sloane Stephens defeated Madison Keys to win the 2017 U.S. Open.

Kessler led 4-2 in the opening set before Pegula won five of six games to take the set. Pegula dropped the first game of the second set but seized control by winning the next four.

The victory is Pegula’s fourth in the past 18-plus months. Kessler has two career titles, both coming in the past six-plus months.
