Top Seeds Pegula, Swiatek Reach Bad Homburg Open Final

Jessica Pegula has advanced to the final of the Bad Homburg Open after a hard-fought comeback victory over Linda Noskova, winning 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-1. Pegula, currently ranked world number three and the tournament's top seed, saved multiple break points and showed resilience to clinch her fifth WTA final of the year. She will face five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek, who dominated Jasmine Paolini 6-1, 6-3 in the semifinals, marking her first grass-court final. Swiatek, a former world number one, displayed aggressive and effective play despite limited grass-court preparation this season, maintaining momentum ahead of Wimbledon. The final between Pegula and Swiatek is notable as the first grass-court final featuring two top 10 players since 2019. Both players are in strong form, setting the stage for a high-level showdown at Bad Homburg.
