Eighth-seeded Linda Noskova defeated third-seeded Jessica Pegula 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 to win the Berlin Open final on Sunday. The grass-court match, originally scheduled to start around noon, began nearly six hours later after heavy rains caused flooding. Noskova, 21, claimed the second title of her career.
Pegula, 32, saved five match points to win the same tournament in 2024 but could not repeat the performance and fell short of a 12th career singles title. The WTA 500 event served as a tune-up for Wimbledon, which starts on June 29. Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, a four-time major winner, lost to Pegula in Saturday's semifinals.
In the Nottingham Open final, also played Sunday, fourth-seeded Marie Bouzkova defeated third-seeded Emma Navarro 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2. Bouzkova secured her first singles title on grass.
