Even before the final it was clear that this WTA event in Lexington in 2020 would have a surprise winner. Because while many were expecting Serena Williams or the great Coco Gauff to make it to the final, it was Jil Teichmann and Jennifer Brady who showed the longest breath and won the title at the first official tennis event in the USA since the COVID-19 conditional interruption of the tour among each other.

Jennifer Brady had surprisingly eliminated youngster Coco Gauff in the semifinals, but still went into the final as a slight underdog. Your opponent, Jil Teichmann, can look back on a flawless final balance (2-0) in WTA finals and already showed strong tennis before the interruption of the WTA tour.

But the local hero Brady made the better start of this final, who won set one 6: 3. And also in round two, the American quickly made it clear that she wanted to achieve her first win on the WTA tour here. In the first game of the set, Brady Teichmann took the serve and could not be denied this advantage. With 6: 3 and 6: 4, the 25-year-old secured her first title on the WTA tour.
