Top seed Jessica Pegra won the Charleston open title by beating fellow American Sofia Kenin 6-3 7-5.
In his first national final in the tournament since 1990, Pegra showed a great promise as he defeated his opponent in straight sets to win the second single title of the season and the eighth title of his career.
Pegra looked strong from the start, breaking his opponent in the opening game, but Kenin resisted and managed to save two breakpoints before leveling 2-2.
Kenin then forced momentum, saving a breakpoint in his next service game, taking the lead for the first time in the match.
However, Kenin dropped his service twice more and was unable to follow through.
