Top-seeded defending champion Jessica Pegula, world No. 5 with a 19-4 record in 2026, faces Yuliia Starodubtseva in the Credit One Charleston Open final on green clay, rescheduled earlier due to projected inclement weather. Pegula grinded through four three-setters, including a 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 semifinal win over Iva Jovic after 599 minutes on court, extending her streak of quarterfinal-or-better appearances to nine straight events. The No. 89 Starodubtseva, in her maiden WTA final, upset fifth seed Madison Keys 6-1, 6-4 in semis following straight-set triumphs over McCartney Kessler and Renata Zarazua, leveraging crafty clay play and strong returns in her first event of the surface this year. No prior head-to-head favors Pegula's experience and 62% clay win rate against Starodubtseva's breakout momentum.
