The wait for IGA Swiatek for a first grass land title – and first on any surface in one year – continues after losing the head of Jessica Pegula in the final of the Bad Homburg Open.
Pegula triumphed 6-4 7-5 to win his ninth career title, third of 2025 and second on the grass, after the victory at the German Open a year ago.
The former World No. 1 Swiatek won 22 WTA titles – 12 on the rigid currents and 10 on Clay – but had never reached a final of the grass.

The post has been without victory at the tournament since he won the French Open for the fourth time in five years in June 2024, with this confrontation against Pegula his first final since then.
Pegula, who saved the only breakdown she faced in the match, said to Swiatek afterwards: “I know you say that you cannot play on the grass but you are very, very good on the grass. It was a special week.”
Swiatek, who slipped into the eighth rank in the world ranking, will face the Polina Kudermetova of Russia in the first round in Wimbledon, a tournament where she never exceeded the quarter -finals in five attempts.
American Pegula, a quarter finalization of Wimbledon in 2023, will face Elisabetta Coccietta d’Italie in her opening match at the Grass-Cour Major.
