“Wow what a week. Obviously I want to congratulate Jessie. You’re incredible and a very tricky player to play on whatever surface. It was really tough to play you in the final,” Noskova said following her triumph.
““I don’t know where I’m gonna put this trophy, it’s too heavy!”
World number 13 Noskova is set to break into the top 10 for the first time, while Pegula’s hopes of winning the title for a second time in three editions fell flat despite her win over world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals.
Sunday’s final was delayed due to extreme weather, forcing the evacuation of spectators, after which organisers apologised following criticism over staff conduct during the process.
