#Charleston #Open #Pegula #defends #title #dominant #win #Starodubtseva">Charleston Open 2026: Pegula defends title with dominant win over Starodubtseva Defending champion Jessica Pegula clinched back-to-back victories at the WTA Charleston Open clay court tournament on Sunday, routing Ukraine’s Yuliia Starodubtseva in straight sets to claim her second title of the year.
Top seed Pegula, who had gone to three sets in every round on her way to Sunday’s final, was in no mood to take the scenic route again as she sprinted to a 6-2, 6-2 victory in one hour and 22 minutes against her 89th-ranked opponent.
The Charleston victory follows Pegula’s win at Dubai in February and is the 11th title of the 32-year-old New Yorker’s career.
After an even start, Pegula seized control in the fifth game of the first set, grabbing the first break point of the match when Starodubtseva pulled a forehand wide.
The Ukrainian saved that point but was quickly in trouble again, giving Pegula another break point with a rushed return which the American converted for a 3-2 lead.
After holding to go 4-2 up, Pegula then went a double-break ahead as more unforced errors from Starodubtseva proved costly.
After comfortably serving out for the set, Pegula was soon on the offensive in the second, breaking Starodubtseva for a third time to 1-0 up.
Starodubtseva finally began to exert some pressure in the next game and twice carved out break points.
But Pegula slammed the door shut to hold for 2-0 and then rammed home the advantage by breaking again for a 3-0 lead.
Another break left her 5-0 up and serving for the match. Starodubtseva finally showed some resilience to fight off three match points to grab her first break to make it 5-1.
But Pegula made no mistake on her next service game, holding to love to wrap up victory.

Apr 5, 2026; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Flyers right wing Porter Martone (94) celebrates with teammates after scoring a goal against the Boston Bruins in overtime at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Porter Martone scored his first NHL goal on a 5-on-3 in overtime, lifting the Philadelphia Flyers to a 2-1 victory over the visiting Boston Bruins on Sunday.
After Boston took penalties seven seconds apart in OT, Philadelphia needed just 15 more seconds to score the decisive goal. Christian Dvorak made a touch pass to the slot for Martone, whose first attempt was stopped by Joonas Korpisalo, but the rookie winger — playing in just his fourth career game — banged home the rebound.
Dan Vladar made 18 saves and Dvorak scored the other goal for Philadelphia (39-26-12, 90 points), which jumped over the New York Islanders for third place in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers entered the day one point behind the Islanders, as well as in a four-way tie for the final wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Pavel Zacha scored the lone goal for Boston (43-26-9, 95 points), which still sits atop the wild-card race despite losing its third straight contest. Korpisalo made 29 saves for the Bruins, including the sequence of the game late in regulation when he denied Jamie Drysdale’s blast and then stoned Tyson Foerster on the rebound with a spectacular pad stop.
Philadelphia opened the scoring 4:19 into the first period on Dvorak’s 17th of the season. Martone’s touch pass near the boards unleashed Dvorak on a 2-on-1 rush, and the Flyers’ top-line center sniped one past Korpisalo.
Neither team scored in the second period with Vladar’s stop on David Pastrnak standing out as one of the top saves of the period.
The Flyers had a two-minute power play to begin the second period — not to mention two other man advantages later in the session — but they were unable to solve the Bruins’ penalty kill.
Philadelphia’s Carl Grundstrom took a penalty in the final minute of the second period, and Boston scored with the extra skater 35 seconds into the third. Pastrnak took a heavy shot that Vladar saved, but Casey Mittelstadt shoveled the rebound to Zacha for his 29th of the season.

#U.S #Mens #Clay #Court #Championships #Tommy #Paul #beats #Roman #Burruchaga #clinch #title #Houston">U.S. Men’s Clay Court Championships — Tommy Paul beats Roman Burruchaga to clinch title in Houston
American fourth seed Tommy Paul saved three match points before scoring a battling three-set victory over unseeded Argentine Roman Burruchaga to win the ATP Houston US Men’s Clay Court Championship on Sunday.
Paul, 28, held his nerve in a nail-biting third set to dig out a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 triumph in two hours and 40 minutes to claim the fifth ATP title of his career.
The American had looked to be heading for defeat after the 77th-ranked Burruchaga engineered a trio of match points while leading 5-3 on Paul’s serve in the decisive third set.
But Paul showed tremendous resilience to put out that fire and hold, and then broke Burruchaga in the next game to square the match at 5-5.
Buoyed by that narrow escape, Paul then held to love to go 6-5 up, and suddenly the pressure was all on the 24-year-old from Buenos Aires, playing in his first ATP final.
Burruchaga, the son of 1986 World Cup-winning footballer Jorge Burruchaga, appeared equal to the challenge after going 40-0 up.
Yet once again, Paul dug deep and clawed his way back to deuce.
The American moved to match point when Burruchaga drilled a backhand wide down the line, and then clinched victory when the South American yanked a wild forehand long on the next point.
